Taxonomic Issues Arising Within iNaturalist
Taxonomic issues involving moth entries in iNaturalist arise periodically and often an informative discussion ensues regarding a resolution. I have found a need to reference these discussions only to have some difficulty locating them. And these are the conversations with which I participated. The purpose for this directory is to provide a handy guide to those discussions.
It is a work in progress with links added as I come across relevant material. Readers are encouraged to add appropriate links in the comments.
