I am posting this because we want to clean up a species that the community thinks should be cleaned up (and also we cant decide which to clean up next) When i say “clean up” i mean adding annotations such as life stage, sex, plant phenology, etc (There are a shockingly high number of observations t…

I always do these two when IDing Caterpillar (because it helps to trigger prompt IDs for Lep) And Fruiting, because I use that filter to find useful pictures. Methodically adding annotations to my own obs now. If I ever run out of tasks - I might go thru Leucadendron, to annotate for flowering a…

I would suggest something out of NA for the fairness of it.

I agree, having an annotation for leaf mines would be good. In the meantime, you can filter for mines in a country by adding both the project and the country to the observations filter in Explore or Identify; e.g. for UK mines: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=6857&project_id=leaf…

[image] DianaStuder: annotate for flowering and male or female. Since that matters. Yes, for dioecious plants annotating sex can be very useful and even the basis for research projects (I wrote a journal post to make that point). Unfortunately, there is no option for bisexual/hermaphrodites -…

Maybe i’ll put a feature request asking to put “bisexual/hermaphrodite” as a sex.

Sorry - but for my confused newbies - it needs to be quite clear. iNat is asking about the observed plant. Not the confused (non-planty) observer.

poll The northern cardinal is a well-known species that does need to be annotated (89,380 observations are unsexed, 93,210 observations are not life staged, out of 149,546 observations globally)

Read the first post, it’s a group of dedicated users.

What species should we clean up in the future?

There’s a looooong thread about annotations, where I think this has been requested multiple times. There are related feature requests as well, like this one.
