I have 13,000 observations without photo! The reason is, my old moth diaries from the 1970s are obviously hand-written books. For me valuable because they come with species, location and date. They will never be confirmed, but I can still get them in the distribution map view. During Winter time, I may actually go through my old insect collection (also from the 1970s) and take pictures, at least to document a few of the records. Adding photos later works perfectly well, and then the observations become verifiable. I like the iNat system!
