Two expert IDs disagreeing with non-expert, what to do?

In that case a 3rd expert would be good and who knows that function. Unfortunately the experts that exist either aren’t very active or don’t use iNaturalist. We do recruit 3rd parties a lot.

i don’t think a third person needs to be an expert. anyone who has an interest in cicadas could help you tip the scales. for example, in this recent thread (https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/anyone-know-of-books-that-could-assist-in-iding-north-american-cicadas/14661), @jhousephotos expressed an interest in cicadas and has 1500 identifications for others. that kind of person seems like a great candidate to help in helping to review and identify cicadas, even if not an expert.
