I would like to try and correctly ID a species that is commonly misidentified, and even gets verified as such. Is there a way to search for observations that have one or more ID’s of a certain taxon? For example, it would show up in the search results even if someone else disagreed with it, changing…

I think if you change in the URL the parameter taxon_id= to ident_taxon_id= it should do the job

That’s the way i am searching for potentially misidentified observations, just filling in the phrase “ident_” into the URL

Similarly I have just realised I’ve been misidentifying a particular organisms for others. How do I search for my own ID for others of a particular organism to get to the entries to correct it? Many thanks

https://www.inaturalist.org/identifications?user_id=smathichong&taxon_id= Just add the number of the taxon ID to the end of this URL. To get the ID you go to the taxon page and it should be in the address along with the name https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1089758-Chauliognathus-missionum example…

Can you please share an example URL?

Didn’t seem to work. https://www.inaturalist.org/identifications?user_id=smathichong&taxon_id=114270589

114270589 is not a valid taxon id number as an example, 7998 is genus Corvus, so https://www.inaturalist.org/identifications?user_id=smathichong&taxon_id=7998 gives you your IDs in genus Corvus

just try and id any New Zealand cicada… ohhh so many of them are wrong!

Looking to ID things that might be incorrectly marked as research grade!
