Viewing species in a project beyond the top 500

I have a few hundred photos of moths that I took in Costa Rica in 2015/16. I’m now trying to upload them. I don’t have a guidebook so what I’ve been doing is scrolling through the observations by species within the Moths of Costa Rica project to find moths that look similar to the photos I have. It’s been working pretty well but I only just discovered today that only the top 500 species are listed.

I’m wondering why there isn’t a page option like there is for the observations (by observation) page so that when I get to the bottom of the page I can select to go to page 2.

The problem with using the Identify page is that they are also by observation instead of species so scrolling through them looking for one that looks like mine is a very tedious process.

I admit I haven’t used the compare tool but I wonder if it wouldn’t be a whole lot different from what the autosuggest gives me.
