Both the group parameter and value parameter should be included in the URL. And term_value_id should be able to accept a comma-separated list of more than one value.

Here are all verifiable Lepidoptera observations with a Life Stage of Larva: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&taxon_id=47157&term_id=1&term_value_id=6

And here are all verifiable Lepidoptera observations with a Life Stage of Larva or Adult: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?page=2&place_id=any&taxon_id=47157&term_id=1&term_value_id=2,6

To exclude observations with particular annotations, use the following similar to the above:

• &without_term_id= to exclude observations with any annotation in this group
• &term_id=xx&without_term_value_id= to exclude observations with a specific annotation value
• &term_id_or_unknown=xx&without_term_value_id to exclude observations with a specific annotation value, or which have no value set for that term

For example, to see observations NOT marked as alive, dead, or undetermined use https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?without_term_id=17

For observations that are marked as alive or undetermined but NOT dead, use https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?term_id=17&without_term_value_id=19

For observations that are marked as alive or undetermined or null (no value set) but NOT dead, use https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?term_id_or_unknown=17&without_term_value_id=19
