New Project: Caterpillars of Europe

https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/caterpillars-of-europe

Hi all,
Recently I have created this project to get a better overview of all European caterpillars.
Almost 298.437 observations are currently included, of 2106 species already 56,57% made it into reseach grade thanks to the 520.280 determinations that have been added.

Observations are automatically included when it is in taxon lepidoptera with lifestage larva.
Some caterpillars on iNaturalist are still missing in this project mainly because they don't have a live stage as annotation.
I try to add each day some of them and maybe this project motivates others to add annotations to their observations too.

Just tagging some people mentioned as top identifiers or top observators who might be interested in this project:
Top observers: @steve_mcwilliam @josef-schmid @maremimar @plemos @dedete @mazzeip
Top number of species: @mazzeip @kjeld_brem @galathea @sabine-g @sskorpio @nakarb
Top Identifiers: @prunhel @fregje @kjeld_brem @stomlins701 @amzamz @lbous @mnauky @western_dragon @joeybom @saber_animal

Hope you like this project.

Have a nice day,

Michel
