# TraitTrail mixed specimen test set — v1

Gallery: https://jackdanhollister.github.io/traittrail-test-images/

Repository: https://github.com/JackDanHollister/traittrail-test-images

The definitive fixed input selection for manual TraitTrail testing: **16 images
in 11 source groups**, mixing pinned insects, a shell, a mounted white butterfly,
striped beetles, and six catalogue butterflies. Five scanning sessions each
provide two genuinely different camera views. Scan subjects across sessions are
not independently identified; group counts are not a biological sample size.

Use the numbered originals in `images/` or browse the gallery in `index.html`. All original image bytes are unchanged; hashes and dimensions are
in [manifest.json](manifest.json). Thumbnails are resized previews,
not test inputs. Keep this v1 unchanged so others can run the same inputs.

## Using the set

1. Download and unpack `traittrail-test-images-v1.zip`.
2. In TraitTrail Studio, Examples → Test image set → Use for analysis loads an
   original image. Alternatively choose a file under `images/` in Analyse.
3. Select your own local model or paid API and press Analyse image explicitly.
4. Save results next to that group's images using distinct filenames per run.
   Record input ID/hash, model, prompt, settings, output, validation errors and
   human review. Use exact input IDs when discussing a failure.
5. Collection graph needs saved results as well as images. This input-only ZIP
   deliberately supplies no expected answers or model-generated truth labels.

Opening or downloading images never runs a model. Studio currently analyses one
image per request; paired views are separate test cases, not automatic combined
inference. A shell is outside the insect pilot: use it to check conservative
unknown/not-applicable behavior, not to measure shell-feature accuracy.

The set includes side/edge-on views with occlusion, mounting pins/labels,
spread wings, different colour/patterns, low-resolution crops, naturally irregular
wing margins and possible appendage/wing damage. Damage notes are selection
observations, not expert-confirmed labels. Do not copy species/condition notes
into model prompts as expected answers. No location claims are made.
