I was looking at my observations page and I realized that the observations were repeating. But they are not duplicated, when I open the repeated observations these are the same observation. It only happen when I put the species level filter.

can you actually reproduce this problem reliably? i’ve seen this problem occasionally, but i think it’s more of an ephemeral problem. i _think_ this is a known issue and may be addressed as part of revamping the Explore page. if you want to make extra sure it gets fixed, i would note this problem over here: [https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/ideas-for-a-revamped-explore-observations-search-page/8439](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/ideas-for-a-revamped-explore-observations-search-page/8439).

It’s an older known issue: [https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/971](https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/971) but I’ve had a hard time replicating it consistently. Refreshing the page usually fixes it for me.
