Is there a way to gather pictures of different kinds of biota in one group? E.g. If someone would like to know which flower, tree, mammal or bird lives more or less exactly in one place: Is there a way to provide each of the photos of the thought biota (flower, tree, mammal/bird) with a code or tag…

The existing capabilities in iNaturalist tags, observation field, projects, are, I guess…

I’m not sure if an observation field would help to do so, either? A “traditional project” is on a different and more general level, I guess? - If this i…

A tag connects them, you use your specific tag and it will show only observations with it, using observations fields as “similar observation set” or any custom field you can create yourself do the same. But if you wish to automatically see them when you open observation page – there’s no way to do t…

Thank you for your help! I am beginning to understand how this works.

Thank you for interesting answer and support. Now that I begin to understand how they work, I will make use of the tags, observation fields and projects in order to learn more about the contexts! I’m fascinated by the idea of working together with other nature lovers via this website and its tools, …
