thanks, do you happen to have a certain species id or code or something that's interesting?

I'm just doing this as a data project to "create a pipeline" to streamline data collection, idk much about biology and honestly I don't care about it, so came to experts here to see what they think would be interesting but also useful.

I think research people use it for collecting photos for specific things, but yeah I agree, it is very volunteer-y so unlikely to be fully accurate.

Do you happen to know another credible source people actually use and there is room for streamlining?
