Does it ever bug any of you when you see someone make an identification that is clearly wrong?
I see it with birds all the time. Someone asks for an ID, and a person responds with something that is clearly wrong. I don't get it.

I just mind my business and keep moving along. No need to get my blood pressure up over something meaningless

It annoys me on snake ID's. They're given the correct answer and a bunch of other folks chime in with wild guesses that do nothing but add confusion.

Not really. People are gonna do what they're gonna do. If someone asks me to identify a snake or a bug or a fish I do my best but I certainly am not gonna get myself worked up over whether they believe me or not, and hell I've been wrong before. I wouldn't take it so personally if I was you.

Like calling a bear a trash bag?

yes, like when that guy posted a fox squirrel a few weeks ago. I got downvoted to hell for calling it a fox squirrel after 2 pages of people saying it was a frickin lemour

And then you have people calling the same plant two different names, and both being correct for their area. Its really confusing...that is why us taxonomic botanist are in such high demand (cough).
But misidentifications doesn't get under my skin, except when people kill harmless snakes (like king snakes).

Locust or Cicada?

It is pretty amazing to see how many people call every water snake with a pattern a moccasin.
I get more frustrated with recommendations for weed control products by trade name. There's 10 different brands of glyphosate recommended in those threads with everyone swearing it's the best.

In Louisiana there are so many different common names for the same thing

I was dropping off some ducks to be cleaned at a place near Welsh years ago that also did guided hunts. There was some city slicker with his young son there looking at the ducks they had killed. The little boy points to some Spoon bill drakes and says, "What kind of duck is that dad?" The guy says, "Those are mallards, see the green heads." I busted out laughing.

Hell no.
ID threads are the best. Especially when the picture is a little blurry and poor lighting.

I typically track them down and threaten them with my Rambo knife.
