I haven’t heard it from anybody yet, but I think it is reasonable to expect that IDers with an interest in larvae can select observations marked as larva and ID them. This does not even require specialist knowledge – the places where prolegs are located allows to separate sawflies from lepidoptera and recognize owlets and geometers inside the latter. So it does make sense to be able to annotate the lifestage as early as reasonably possible.
