Does anyone have suggestions for how to move forward on plant identification (getting the Suggested ID to focus on a plant in a picture) when there is an already-identified insect in the photo? I am trying to tag a bunch of plant-insect interactions of a specific species of insect in a certain geogr…

Thanks - I’ll give this a try. I’m trying the google lens ID - which will allow cropping within the image without having to download anything - but the algorithm is not as good as iNat’s

You can click on “Compare” then change the source to “Visually similar” and the taxon to “flowering plants” or something along those lines. [image]

Compare and CV is quicker than Enhancement and crop. I must remember that.

And enhancement and crop as so very useful as it is, doesn’t take location into account while compare and cv does. Sometimes that can matter.

this is what I do (usually when the CV gets hung up on the wrong area of a genus) - works like a charm!
