Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

This issue was noted numerous times starting on the evening of July 26 and continuing through evening of July 27. Groups of observations appeared twice - separated by other observations. On evening of July 26 there appeared to be some “reset” that removed some of the duplicate observations and the total number of observation and observations “Needing ID” decreased.

Step 1: go to https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/national-moth-week-2022

Step 2: on the circle showing observations click on the yellow portion (“Needs ID”)

Step 3: say observations that repeated either in another area of that page or on another page. These observations had the same reference link (e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/128202694) and any action taken was saved and could be seen by clicking on either copy of the observation.

I see this duplication thing happen when I look in the explore page, regardless of the project, for many many months now. I believe this issue was pointed out in the past.

Yeah, it’s a known bug. Refreshing the page often fixes it. I’m going to close this bug report.
