Servus! Please, join the new mission of European butterflies and moths and post all your corresponding spottings. We need a lot of people which would join the group to make it global! Thanks and best regards from Switzerland! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8574613

Monkey and nana, to see other new local missions which are not in your area, go to missions, select local, and clear your location from the search field. You'll get to see all the local missions worldwide.

Also verify about new missions... Local...

Der Admiral right...?
Ashish
You must write it then in German both IDs look to be English. So confusing.
Ashish
ID must be just Red Admiral
