Every taxon map that I looked appeared like this as default. If you want to move it to see the complete map you have to move it yourself. It is a small bug, but it is a little bit annoying. I guess that the default should be the line of the ecuator in the center probably, or the average point for all the observations?

this may be in part related to this species having an observation at the north pole due to a mapping error. I’ll flag that as mapped wrong.

I think that it is happening for all the Lepidopterans

I fixed several more location errors near the north pole. I still see an observation mapped at the edge of the map, but I’m unable to click on it or find it in a bounding box search:

you can manually adjust the bounding box nelat=90 to see everything up to the pole: [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=90&nelng=180&place\_id=any&swlat=84.97288529696462&swlng=-180&taxon\_id=47157](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=90&nelng=180&place_id=any&swlat=84.97288529696462&swlng=-180&taxon_id=47157)

not sure what you’re fixing on these observations. so i’m going to leave them alone myself.

These maps aren’t shifting upwards for me anymore now that the location errors have been marked on the north pole observations.
