Thanks for all your beautiful moths spottings this week Gilma! Please use the scientific name field only for the latin binomial name (Genus + species if known); other levels of taxonomy can go in your notes or be provided by a reference. Also, don't forget to fill in the habitat field. This should describe the actual habitat where the spotting was made. Thank you again!
