That's a really good question, Anna. As far as I know there is not like a real method to see if it is correct, but the suggestion is based on our community knowledge. And if you updated it and someone notice it was a wrong suggestion they will let you know.
Thank you! I'll do my best. But, not in that case, how can I be sure that the identification is correct?
Anna! Once your spotting has been identified, it's nice to update your photo with the new information. You can do this by clicking the "Edit this spotting" button on the top of this page. If you need any help let us know!
