Does anyone else get bothered by how many observations are marked as "unknown species"?

I don’t know if it is still useful, but I make it available.
I can regenerate it later, or with an additional filter (for instance, only >5 year old observations), without additional effort (generated by a software).

Each cell shows:

  • Number of observations (obtained from the API).
  • Percent relative to the row.
  • Global percent.
