Can we say the same about moths? I’m an avid participant on iNaturalist. I record lots of moth sightings because there really are many beautiful moths in Hong Kong.
There’s a “Hong Kong Moths” project on iNaturalist, but adding observations to that project can be very frustrating because the observation must be in one of the defined (sub)families.
But to an amateur like me, a moth is a moth is a moth. Sometimes even the machine identification is way off and I know it’s a moth because of the general body features.
And I wouldn’t want to put it in a random (sub)family just to get the observation included in the project. I’d have to @mention some moth expert (e.g. @hkmoths, Dr. Roger Kendrick) to help me ID the observation first.
