Photos / SoundsObserverchristopherstephensDescriptionI noticed basically 0 effort on my part or anyone else's in midwinter for the 100 year project, so thought I'd have a go. 0 noctuids, mostly small stuff intercepted on the tracks or beaten from vegetation. Hardly anything came to the actual lights. I bet we could get to 300 just going through to tick off all the mining moths - here's one of them. |
Silkpods (Genus Parsonsia) |

I've changed all the interaction field names from "Interaction: " to "Interaction->" to stop them messing with the photo tag processing on photo import. When adding photos already tagged with fields to the "Add an observation" page, it was only grabbing the field name text after the colon and so not working properly.
Everything works now that the colon is gone, so long as you use a recognised taxon name. For example, if I tag a photo on my computer with "Interaction->Visited flower of=Rosmarinus officinalis" and upload it, it will get this field added with the taxon Rosmarinus officinalis.
That can save a lot of time if you''re maintaining your own photo library in your computer and tagging lots of photos there and uploading them all at once.
