Well very impressive. I co-direct a site called iNaturalist which is similar to PN where I've posted ~17k observations https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&user_id=loarie But I enjoy using PN as well mainly to get different perspectives. PN is so beautifully designed.

Yes, but that is less than 10 a day! Your help with Genus is appreciated but when I searched Google it pointed to an earlier spotting of mine where I had found time to do more research. PN is my job (voluntary and unpaid) as I am retired.

have you really uploaded >21,000 observations to project noah? thats pretty impressive!
loarie
well at least I could help as far as genus ;)

That is not an Iberian species, it is recorded only from Italy, parts of France and parts of Slovenia. The 8 recorded Iberian species have yet to be studied fully.

my guess is https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/416283-Lachnaia-italica
