Familiarize yourself with the species.
I identified the listed species myself. In some cases, exact determination can be difficult. I use the resources and knowledge I have. In addition to the appearance, location, frequency and season, I also take into account observations of the surrounding area. The presence of other species often allows conclusions to be drawn about the species to be identified. In many cases, precise identification is only possible using microscopic or molecular genetic examination. That's too ambitious for me. Have fun discovering!
