Getting Good Photos For Identification

There are many plants and creatures that need photos of certain parts to help with ID. So to avoid the dissapointment of not being able to get an id for that amazing plant or creature you found because you did not photograph the correct part, follow this guide to get the photos you need :)

Important
In the "What did you see?" box do not put "something" even if you don't know what it is. Instead use plants / birds / insects / fungi including lichens (for mushrooms or lichens) / moss / gastropods (for anything with a shell) / ray finned fish / etc and choose from the drop down box. This will also help those who are interested in that particular field to find your observation. An insect person may only look at insect records and filter accordingly so they will miss that great "something" of an insect that you discovered! less ↑
