Good Advice
Another iNat member commented on blank ID's. I really liked how she gently urged people to identify an organism to the highest level they are confident. Here is her comment:
"Hi, welcome to iNaturalist! Even if you don't know the exact species, you can select a higher level identification such as “fungi”, ”plant", or "insect".
Many of the volunteers helping identify observations on iNaturalist filter the observations by the group of species they know how to ID (like plants or insects), so observations with a blank ID like this one will be excluded from those filtered searches. There are many more people posting unidentified observations than there are fellow users volunteering to help identify them. Putting in a general ID such as “Fungi”, “Plant”, or “Insect”, helps funnel your observation to someone who might know what they're looking at so that it can get identified more quickly. Here is a video tutorial for the mobile app: https://vimeo.com/162581545.
