Thanks for the clarification Jakubko. I'll add all the moths to the mission when I get time. Too busy now uploading while I have internet!

I'm sorry for the confusion, pamsai. You can add moths not spotted during National Moth Week to my mission, but only moths spotted during National Moth Week will be surveyed. When I process the data, I will select only moths spotted from the 20th to the 28th.

Jakubko, I was a bit confused about whether to add my moths to your mission as they were not spotted during National Moth Week. Shall I wait till that finishes, and then add them? Aren't you doing a survey of moths spotted in that week?

Please add this to my mission, "Moths of the World:" http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841449

This moth looks like Rosema epigena and Rosema thestia the most, although I am not sure which. Both of the specimens on BOLDsystems which look like yours are "forms" of the species and may prove to be unique species in the future. Perhaps bayucca has more light to shine on this.
