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.
Hard to say for sure since the wings are partially closed but I'm guessing Spicebush Swallowtail. Can't really see the double line of whitish spots on the upper wing of a Spicebush but that could be due to the wings not being opened the whole way. The whitish spots along the edge of the upper wing seem to decrease in size from the inside to the outside of the upper wing. Also, the white half-moon shapes on the hind wings seem to be larger than if it was a Black Swallowtail.
Definitely not a Pipevine Swallowtail as the white/yellow spots on the upper wings are too large.
A Black Swallowtail would have 2 rows of white/yellow spots along the upper wings.
Doubt that it is a female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail as no reddish/orange spots are visible and the Tiger Swallowtail also has 2 rows of white/yellow spots along the edge of the upper wings.
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)
