iNaturalist hack for restricting Lepidoptera observations to moths

I went to this forum discussion: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-use-inaturalists-search-urls-wiki/63

Without restating the entire post:
When you go to the Observations page at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations you will have the chance to filter for YOUR observations. When you choose that option, you will see that a url has been generated for your user id. Now, specify a search for Lepidoptera.

You will then find an inserted string: &taxon_id=47157

Your observations are now limited to Lepidoptera. To exclude all the butterflies for a moth-only list, you simply have to insert into the url address the excluded taxon id string for Papilionoidea: &without_taxon_id=47224

You can insert this neatly following the &taxon_id=47157 or at the very end of your url. You'll get the same results either way.

Thus, I developed my own url:

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=table&taxon_id=47157&without_taxon_id=47224&user_id=annainok&verifiable=any

This gives me all my moths, without my butterflies (excluding Superfamily Papilionoidea)

Just putting this here so I can find it...it's probably old news to everyone else. :)
