Project Changes Coming Soon

iNaturalist just announced new changes in the works for Projects. Once the planned addition of the ability to use annotations as a filtering parameter is implemented, I intend to convert this project to a "collector." While this will not entirely automate the process (since so many people do not annotate their observations), it should simplify our process. Once we make the transition, we shouldn't have to click through to individual observation pages and add them to the project; rather, once we have added the "Larva" annotation from the Identify page, they should be automatically added to the project.
