In fact the problem with entering all records with f. rustica as the taxon may cause more problems if MapMate decide to replace that taxon with the new species, which is not necessarily correct! I suggest using the comments field.VC41Mothshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263945533123756002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-16327605386843807552013-08-04T09:53:49.940+01:002013-08-04T09:53:49.940+01:00Barry - you might have noticed I've put 'd...Barry - you might have noticed I've put 'dark form' in the comments box for mine, I wasn't sure if the taxanomic status of this form/species had been resolved. Dave - should I change these to f. rustica in MapMate as Barry suggests?<br /><br />I have 8 garden records for Prays fraxinella all but one of which have been 'f. rustica'. I had one of these on 30th July.<br /><br />George (Llandaff North) GMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759152282751126808noreply@blogger.com
