How can I find an observation with just its observation ID Number?

Modified on Mon, 28 Sep at 8:34 AM

All iNaturalist observations have a unique observation ID number. Sometimes these numbers are used in various records, such as herbarium and fungus sample records, and you can use them to find the observation on the iNaturalist website. 


To find an observation if you only have its observation ID number, just append the number to the end of this URL: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/ 


For example, if you want to find the observation with the observation ID number of 18929005, go to https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/18929005.
