Scott - this sounds supportive but I’m not sure what the implication is. There are 5.3 million insects records today, around 20% of which have life stage annotations. The percentage for lepidoptera is slightly better at 26% of 2.3 million observations. Is that enough data to start with? If not, what is the threshold?
As I update this, I realize that’s 300,000 new lep observations since I started this topic on May 16, roughly 225,000 of which do not have life stage information. This problem grows daily.
