Amount of "Unknown" records is decreasing

I do this periodically for unknowns in Texas, although I mostly pick out the stuff I’m familiar with (arthropods). I’m wondering how people handle observations with placeholders? I know to look out for placeholders that indicate the observer knows about their observation and will likely come back - if the placeholder is “Banded Hickory Borer Beetle” then I will leave it alone. But what about observations with a placeholder like “bug” “moth” “tree” - would you leave those alone or add an ID?
