Off and Running

Saturday Jeff Coll and @easmeds and I are off for field season to see if we can clean up a few of the last remaining species we need. We're doing a whirlwind trip down south through Arizona, New Mexico, up into Colorado and back through Utah. We are hoping to find:

O. georgi near Prescott, AZ
O. sugdeni in Orangeville, UT (long-shot, but hey)
O. schaefferi in Cedar City, UT
O. tanneri near Mesa Verde, CO
O. formosa anywhere in UT

A few others we're hoping for are type location O. bella, O. gibbera, and Platypedia mohavaensis

In other news Okanagana canadensis and O. magnifica now have 100+ observations, which means they'll be added to the AI training! O. rimosa is 4 away, so it should hit the mark easily in the next few weeks.

We are now down to 7 species left that we no specimens for whatsoever. And 2 of those are sketchy.
