        Can't wait what the community will come up with! Just read there's 180,000 lepidoptera described, so we're almost at 1.5% here. Just to indicate the size of the opportunity :)

        And of course not to forget that photos of moths already on the platform are equally welcome.         Posted 6 years ago

          Ha! 1.5%! Well, this afternoon at about 7:35 I added a new moth, Dejongia lobidactylus, while talking a walk through a field so I've moved the number up a tiny bit.

              So far for Moth Week 2019 I've added 17 new species to my checklist plus 45 returns. I think I've got most of the new ones posted to JD. Posted 6 years ago
