I’m not sure if what I am asking is already possible or if it would be a new feature request. I manage a collection project (Moths of Oklahoma). I try to keep tabs on our overall species count and sometimes when our count increases it is hard for me to figure out what “new species” was added. It’s possibly a new observation, or maybe an old observation that has been newly identified. Is there any way for me to get notifications or search for this information?

I think the information in [https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/which-new-species-was-observed-in-my-project/4763](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/which-new-species-was-observed-in-my-project/4763) is still up to date, though pisum added a tool for displaying them, e.g. this should display the newest moth taxa in Colorado:
