Maybe it would be worth adding links to the observations in the species groups we are adding, and also a link of the Ventral View field observations? Not sure if that fits in with your purpose for this page. Awesome that you are collecting all this information in one spot. Thank you!!
Sounds like a good idea about the ventral views. I think for now I'll keep all the Catocala info on one page but if this starts getting too long, I'll probably break the links down into smaller sections for ease of making single links for posting.
Made a separate page for Catocala maestosa but will also leave the info on this page for now.

Will have to review my html coding as some things aren't working as planned.
So I don't have to look for this link when needed

Cool! Are you adding links to other species as you have time? There are a variety of other species that could be added with RG photos as well. Let me know if you want a list of ones I think would be good to start with.
Yes. Let me know which ones should have priority and I'll add them as I have time.
nuptialis, abbreviatella, whitneyi, amestris should all be good (I have a lot of reared examples of abbreviatella and amestris to add at some point if that impacts what you add).
Some that I have images and reared images of but haven't gone through the pool of other images yet: serena, amica (amica/lineella), obscura, judith, insolabilis, habilis, antinympha, minuta, meskei, micronympha
Suggested species have been added.
I wonder if there is a way to collect a link of reared examples here under the RG link for each species? I don't know the best way to do that, if we found a way it would probably add a lot of good photos that would augment the RG observations, and lots of the reared photos (like almost all of mine) won't show up in the RG link if they have been marked captive... Not sure the best way to filter for that, because if you only do the 'captive' filter then you miss any observation the observer took in the development series initially when the larva/organism was still wild. I guess you could filter by that one Reared Insect Nymphs/Larva project? But that would mean the observer would have had to add their observations to that project. Hmmm...
I have been adding observations of reared caterpillars and other insects as I come across them. Anyone can add examples of anything in the taxon Pterygota as long as there is either a link to the adult or the adult has been included along with the immature egg, larvae, and/or pupa.
So far this is what shows up for Catocala on
Reared or bred insect larvae-nymphs
As long as one of the photos in your group is not marked "Casual", the entire series can viewed if one knows to click on the Observation group link.
There are some other links I would like to add. Specifically some which show examples of what to photograph for best chances of getting an ID. Ex., Top, side, venter, head, host plant if available or at least a mention of what was nearby. Any other thoughts?
For head, I would make it clear that we are wanting to see the whole head face-on to get the lower portions of the head (which are often not visible from above). Otherwise that sounds good. Will think about anything else and let you know.
Hey! Is there a place on here where we could store the species groups we are using for easy reference? Then we could make sure we're being consistent when entering one. We could maybe put them by foodplant category (since that is one of the species groups anyways)? Just don't want to enter something as neogama/maestosa and another one as maestosa/neogama etc.
What I recall us using so far:
hickory
neogama/maestosa
oak
micronympha/similis
poplar/willow
meskei/junctura
rosaceae
ericaceae
amorpha
whitneyi/abbreviatella
What I can do is list the plants/trees and then the species. "Owlet Caterpillars..." has the common foodplants listed for each species. I'll set up a sample listing to see if that works. Is that what you mean?
I guess I meant that when we are adding the 'species group field' for some of these, it would be helpful to have a reference of the specific order/names we are entering into that field so that it stays consistent over many larvae. For example, so that we continue to add all species in one group as neogama/maestosa rather than accidentally typing maestosa/neogama in reverse order (or poplar/willow rather than willow/poplar) for some observations. Also, if we had a record of existing species groups, if somebody wanted to go back and review a species group it would be easy to see the ones that they could search for. Does that clarify at all?
