Can everyone try again now to see if it gives more reasonable suggestions?

No, it always gives other species suggestions. And the Genus suggestions it is suggesting are way off.

Oh, I misunderstood your request. It’s happening on all the photos I upload. And it only started happening yesterday.

No, not always, it often shows 1 species only, genus is possible too. I didn’t ask if it can happen, because it happens sometimes, but how normal it is in current system. As there’s a new model, it can give some off ids which can be bugs or simply how it as taught.

Ran an experiment just now. Loaded three images of same specimen of moth and iNat gave me different random suggestions for each image. Then I selected all and added my location in the left column (I use Safari). Then I unselected all and looked at suggestions and all three gave correct ID. I hop…

I’m not even able to toggle off the “show only nearby suggestions.” The option doesn’t appear for me.

Well, doesn’t it happen each time system is sure in that taxon and no other? It’s normal to get one suggestion.
