A single observation should only be from one time. If there is additional new information, that should go in a new observation (which can be posted by someone else). You can link the two observations in a few different ways. The simplest is just to put a link to the other observation in the description, but some people use observations fields, see [here](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/using-the-field-similar-observation-set-for-linking-observations-of-lepidoptera-when-raising-on/1018) for more info.
