Why isn't "Kingdom Bacteria" shown on the Life taxa page?

You can use the identified=false argument in the URL to remove these when you are identifying unknowns and it will remove bacteria and viruses. Here’s the link I use.

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?per_page=60&iconic_taxa=unknown&order_by=random&order=asc&identified=false

though this will remove “unknowns” where two disagreeing IDs have pushed the observation back to life. You can also use:

@lotteryd

It will pull up a mix of only Unknown and “State of Matter Life” if you add the following chunk to your search url:

&without_taxon_id=67333%2C131236%2C151817

@lotteryd

Here is an exclusion chunk that I currently use in my Unknowns only/ no Life url:
&without_taxon_id=48460%2C1126112%2C67333%2C131236%2C151817%2C48222

the 48460 number excludes all Life, and makes the later numbers redundant, but I keep those in so that I can adjust the focus with an easy edit. I forget what the other couple numbers do.

Edit: 1126112 was from some unrelated past issue and can be removed so
&without_taxon_id=48460%2C67333%2C131236%2C151817%2C48222
