Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Thanks, I guess this moth's typical range is a bit too southern to be included in the new Peterson Field Guide to the moths of NE North America. Definitely a cool moth.
Kent, your moth shots are great. I have a close friend here in the Austin area, Dr. Chuck Sexton, who has really gotten big into moths. He submits a lot to BugGuide and has an extensive collection of Texas moth photos. He is not on iNat as yet, but hopefully will be sometimes soon. This is his profile on Bugguide.

Bugguide and moth photographers group are my go to resources beyond the Peterson field guide to NE North America. It would be great to have another moth expert on board INat. Jhooper has been an incredible help on INat this summer as I've gotten started into moths. Super gracious, helpful, and instructive. They are a fascinating, diverse group.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)

Now that's neat!
