Description of problem:

An observation with two Danaus plexippus (Monarch butterfly) identifications, and one Ascelpiadoideae (plant subfamily) identification, somehow has a community taxon of Danaus plexippus (even though in the “About” popup, everything below “State of matter Life” is marked as “Below cutoff”). This means the observation is Research-Grade, and has ended up on GBIF at https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2311283346 (with a taxon of State of matter Life, instead of the displayed community taxon).

Looks like there may have also been a previous ID that was deleted, so that could be part of the weirdness. This would probably be fixed by reindexing (by ticking DQA or similar), but leaving it alone for now so the issue can still be observed. Also looks like an IDer could be tagged to change/withdraw their ID to focus on observer’s intended focus.

Well, enough people added their IDs that the glitch isn’t relevant anymore. It seemed to be the only (current) iNaturalist observation on GBIF with this issue (https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?dataset_key=50c9509d-22c7-4a22-a47d-8c48425ef4a7&issue=TAXON_MATCH_NONE), so maybe that’s the easier fix than these obscure indexing discrepancies.
