Splitting Moths from Lepidoptera

I’ve been in iNat for a while now, and have spoken with many people who use the platform as well who find it frustrating how there is no separate taxa for just moths. Currently it is just “Butterflies and Moths” and “Butterflies.” I am beginning to try to do research on the species of moths in my area, and some functions on the program do not allow you to use exclusion filters. It it only the project creation function. When will there be a separate option to choose for just moths?
