On my Japanese Honeysuckle observation a big pink icon with an exclamation mark appeared with it saying where it was "introduced." I think this is because it's an invasive species.

I just noticed that the text colors for the observation IDs correspond to the colors in the species drop down list. That's a nice touch.

The Japanese Honeysuckle observation ended up in the "Chesapeake Bay Watershed Biodiversity" project. I don't recall adding it to that. Maybe I did it by accident, or maybe someone found it interesting that this invasive species is in this particular location. (I'm sure everyone realizes that it's in the area, but observations by a lot of people might help track its spread. I'm guessing.)

All introduced species get this label whether or not they are invasive. All species have some kind of natural range and all records outside that area get that label.
Definitely a good design feature.
It depends on how the project was set up. Some projects set a particular area delineated by a line on a map and any records in that zone are auto-added to the project. Sometimes project leaders search individually for records that apply to their project and add them.
Ah ... okay, thanks for the explanation.
