Twice ppl have mis-ID a locust for an ant. I’m guessing it must have been grasshopper hatchlings? It would be useful if one could click on the tiny ‘2’ next to the ant and have pop up a clickable list of the obs where the mis-IDs happened. If anyone else agrees I’ll make it a feature request.
The link for the screenshot is: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/119211-Dictyophorus-spumans
(you might have to filter location to Southern Africa to see the ant)
I don’t think similar species need curating at present, but I suspect that, in time, the list of mis-IDs will grow to the point where the similar species page will be so full of far-fetched mis-IDs that it becomes hard to use.
