Discoveries are everywhere. I was at a beach with friends on the weekend, and rolled a log (as I do), found and photographed a beetle (as I do), and uploaded to #iNaturalist (as I do).
It's the second #iNaturalistNZ observation of its species, and 7th globally.
This is how knowledge about nature gets built: people sharing interesting things they find. In the old days it was employed/wealthy collectors. Now it can be everyone with a smart phone.
