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.
Description
Frog found at Laguna de Cube in northwestern Ecuador. Need help with ID. SVL 3.2cm
Welcome to iNat, nkhenke. Cool looking frog--hope you find some ID help here. Here are some tools that you might find useful: 1) adding this observation to the Amphibian Bioblitz project may get the attention of experts; 2) the iNat field guides for the location are something to browse through and look through the options, although not all taxonomic groups are complete (mammals and birds are good, invertebrates and plants are not).
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)

Are the two pictures of two different frog species? If yes, it's better to split them into two observations.
Muir thanks, I am brand new to this and appreciate the help! I have a number of frogs I want to upload and need help with IDs.
Looking forward to seeing more!
Could be Craugastor sp.
