How can I see all the moth/butterfly species seen in my state?

I know how to use explore and to find that there have been 1,413 butterfly and moth species seen in Missouri. When I click on species, it only shows me part of that 1,413. How do I see the rest? How do I see a complete list?

that section of the Explore page hits the observation species count API endpoint to get data. you can the do the same (https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations/species_counts?place_id=28&taxon_id=47157&verifiable=true&per_page=500), adding &page=2 for page 2 (and then iterating for each additional page), or you can use a page like this to view the results in a human-friendly format: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_observations_species_counts.html?place_id=28&taxon_id=47157&verifiable=true&per_page=500

I developped the tool described here for this purpose.

I may give you this tool preconfigured and/or generate a report for you, for Missouri or Illinois, or for a bounding box on the map. Just tell me the location and the taxon, or taxa, of interest.
