New project field

Added a (voluntary) project field on the quality of evidence for oviposition.

If I did miss some reasonable value, please let me know. The current values for this field are:

egg observed
ovipositor use
other, certain
uncertain

Cheers,
Jere K.

Hello Jere,

A photograph of mine showing an ovipositing moth was recently added to this project. Until this morning, I was not aware this project even existed. Although I often see ovispositing on light sheets, I occasionally find eggs on and off sheets that I cannot identify. Is is of value to post these observations on iNaturalist and, perhaps, get an ID?

The project itself is brand new.

Most eggs are probably not be identified to species (or even genus) from photographs. Posting them on iNaturalist would likely not be worth the effort.
