<br />
The set is twice as large as our typical set of 700-800, for a few reasons:<br />
- Moths! (about 400 of them)<br />
- The stunning biodiversity hot spots we attended in themselves<br />
- Our own productivity (squeezing everything out of a day)<br />
<br />
In terms of productivity, I don&#039;t think we can top ourselves in the future, there&#039;s just not more time in a day, but you can be sure that we will try. Thank you to everyone who gave feedback and the tremendous help I got regarding IDs. <br />
