How to Link TWO observations?

General

Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. Love the idea we talk inatese!
Actually the butterfly bush does not have an ‘i’ but an exclamation mark (upside i?) against it and yes, I am aware of the ‘introduced’ concept. And I think if it is ‘introduced’ it is therefore ‘not wild’ in the Data quality Assessment. so I think I understand what you are saying about the ‘not wild’ and ‘introduced’. Thank you!

But can you take a look at this ‘introduced’ False London-Rocket observation. It too is ‘introduced’. So why is not showing as ‘not wild’ if it is introduced?

But at least I now understand why this one ‘needs id’ (which is what I am after) and ‘not casual’.

These are two separate concepts. The butterfly bush was automatically marked as not-wild because the great majority (>80%) of other observations in the area it was observed had previously been marked as not-wild. It has nothing to do with whether it is native or introduced.

The Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI) database imports Research Grade observations (with a suitable CC license) from iNaturalist that have any Observation Field that indicates an association of some kind. GloBI automatically provides the reciprocating relationship.

For example:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/124206867
is my observation of a red-spotted plant bug on a flower, to which I added “Interaction->Visited flower of: Rudbeckia”.

GloBI imported that:
https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/?accordingTo=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.inaturalist.org%2Fobservations%2F124206867&interactionType=interactsWith
as both “visits flowers of” and “flowers visited by”.
