Put your best foot (photo) forward.

The artificial intelligence in iNaturalist only looks at the first photo in a series for identification purposes.
When uploading, make sure that your clearest photo showing the organism is first. Thereafter line up the other photos.
This will assist you in getting a more accurate identification.

For plants, choose a photo that shows the overall plant, without too much background information. No matter how pretty it is, a leaf or flower is not always the best.

Uploading with the App.
You may have selected multiple photos of the same organism.
You will see all the photos displayed in the top bar.
Decide on the photo you want first in the series.
Press on it, hold and drag it to the front. This will then be the photo that the system looks at.

Uploading on the Web..
When using the upload function on the web, you can drag in multiple photos to upload simultaneously.
Decide on the photo you want first in the series.
Click and drag/drop the other photos onto the primary photo.
This will then be the photo that the system looks at.
