Coordinator notes: Early moth season! You probably will get a few more moths with the additional light.
I've been marking caterpillars on iNat for most of the winter. Have made a slight dent in getting them marked as "larva" which should start to help with IDs.
As far as moths the Computer Vision has not been all that great but "Compare" has improved quite a bit, especially as we are getting more and more moths added to the database. I tried the "Compare" on several of your postings on iNat. Click left on Compare by your suggested ID. The Fawn Sallow came up as the fifth option after changing the Place to Wisconsin at the top of the page that was opened. Another try with the Hoary Pinion brought up the first option as there was already another Hoary Pinion identified from Vilas County to use as a comparison (just my guess as to how this worked). Right clicks also work but in a different manner. I haven't tried using that option very much yet.
