| Aug 13, 2020 at 16:44 | comment | added | Ojasvi | @theforestecologist yes agreed. However when these kind of questions are asked the op usually gives all the relevant information related to the habitat, ecology etc. Though you are right however I can't say it's totally inaccurate | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 16:11 | comment | added | theforestecologist Mod | Tldr: just cause it looks right, doesn't mean it is. Simply trying to match morphology without considering ecology, location, genetics, etc can lead any novice using these tools to wrongly think they find the right answer | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 16:06 | comment | added | theforestecologist Mod | These tools are very often inaccurate. Simply put. There is an immense amount of nuance and diversity, and such tools can't account for small differences. Without deeper knowledge of the taxon in question, a novice identifier could easily not know the nuances and therefore not realize this. To complicate matters further, taxa are being increasingly differentiated by non-morphological characteristics, which these tools simply cannot pick up on. E.g, Even determining location can rule an ID one way or another between 2 similar species. These tools often don't account for even that simple measure | |

| Aug 6, 2020 at 12:20 | comment | added | David | I right click and I don't see any Google lens. That is because I do not use Google products if I can avoid it so that I don't have it spying on me all the time and trying to serve me ads. I certainly do not use Google Chrome. | |
