General discussion about wildlife recording and about records on the site
Is anybody having problems understanding feedback on records that states " the NBN Cleaner says they are outside the accepted 10km range". A difficult proposition to inderstand when you're recording garden escapes which could turn up anywhere!
I recently spotted this moth or butterfly feeding on sedum flowers in my garden in the daytime. It is small, width. 1.5 - 2 cm from wingtip to wingtip. Does anyone know what it is? It's very beautiful.
Along with Peter Thompson the asco man we have identified the myxo parasite Berkelella stilbigera in the field but can't seem to be able to record it on the database - I have tried numerous synonyms with no luck - can anyone help please.

If an irecord account activation email is not received or been seen/deleted how do you receive another? The account is registered so cannot be set up again in that email.
What label should I attach to an entry for immature spiders? None of the options seems appropriate, 'nymph' applies to insects but spiders are not insects so what should I use?
About 80 towns and villages were moved from Berkshire to Oxfordshire in 1974. You still label the town where I live as Berkshire despite having moved to Oxfordshire 48 years ago. Please can you use a more up to date map of the counties?
As a recent convert to iRecord and starting to dabble in micro moths (eventually after resisting for so long) I am very keen to be sure my entered records are correct so really value the validation function of the site. Am I right in thinking that any rejected record due to a mis identification will be removed from the database automatically or is it my responsibility to somehow remove it?
thanks for any help on this
For various reasons that I won't go into here I report some observations through iRecord and others through iNaturalist. It's now pleasing to see the latter making their way into iRecord. My current problem is getting them out again. The records are tagged as 'user not logged in' and the recorder name is 'Roy Lowry' rather than 'Lowry, Roy'. What I want to do is deliver observations made in New Ferry Butterfly Park (a local nature reserve) to Cheshire Wildlife Trust who manage the park.
In ebird, the hotspot system allows me to enter bird data for a single site over and over throughout time. I can then get a single summary list for that site. Can I do similar on irecord? We are surveying all of the recordable organisms from all taxa at the Holy Loch and would like these all in one location.
