Tips for a useful identification photo
- Weeds: photograph the whole plant, leaf arrangement and any flowers or seedheads.
- Insects: take a close-up showing body shape, legs and head. Include a ruler or another size reference.
- Turf damage: capture the overall pattern and close-ups of affected leaves, crowns and roots.
- Search context: include your Australian location, turf species and recent weather when refining your search.
