This is an awesome list, I’ll certainly be joining several of these! Also,
Moths are covered in tiny scales and they can easily rub off if they do something like crawling under a leaf and having their top side brush against it, for example. Moths with large quantities of scales missing are often further into their lifespan then more “pristine” looking ones, from my understanding. :)
It looks like @carnifex had the same idea a few days earlier. Great minds! Maybe you can discuss between you to choose one to maintain and both be project curators on it.
I’ve added observations from mentioned projects to Observations With ID Tips. It now has 2500+ observations, 48 members, and a new curator. Keep it going guys! And do tell me if you notice any similar projects, observation fields, or tags.
The umbrella project is brilliant and doesn’t compete with this one at all. It’s a bit more up to date (since I have to update mine manually), and it’s not made to have observations added to it.
Otherwise, to keep on topic, I can share my other group of projects. This umbrella project contains several of my taxon-themed projects where I added the best looking species I could find on iNat, and currently counts over 3000 observations. Curated List of Incredible Species.
I also find these historical-themed projects amusing, like projects that collect observations in the former territories of the Roman Empire, Austria-Hungary, and so on. You can see all here.
