I specialize in Plant Galls and have been entering them since 2015. Why are there no unconfirmed 'pink dots' on the NBN maps. Andricus aries, Andricus Gemmeus, Andricus grossulariae seem to be non-existent in the NE - but I've recorded them. The same goes for others like epitrimerus trilobus and even common galls such as eriophyes tiliae. I am disheartened that they are not apparent even as unverified - and that it makes the species look southern. I haven't looked at all the species I have entered but I do wonder if I'm I wasting my time entering Plant Gall records?
Hi Jill.
I have developed an interest/fascination with Plant Galls recently. It seems there isn't a regular verifier on irecord as none of my submissions have been looked at. Perhaps if you are confident enough you would be prepared to take on this roll?
All the best
