Unidentified
These animals have yet to be identified with the exact species.
Unidentified gallery
Unidentified birds
Unidentified bugs
Unidentified spiders
Hah, I know that one!
You see an animal on here that you 100% recognize? Let me know! Please make sure you absolutely know that species. There are some that can only be identified on a genetical level, some spiders can only be ID-ed under a microscope. But sometimes everyone on iNaturalist missed something you spot in a picture that makes you sure.
Why is that important?
There are so many species that look very similar but one is very common and the other one would be a spectacular find. A wrong identification can actually become a problem for scientists accidentally adding a find to their data set. Even though most specialists know very well what to look out for in the species they are working with, poor quality in photos or tagging a wrong location can still make for a mistake. So I'd rather put these animals in the "unidentified" category than mess up anything.
