A recent post from BAMONA's blog:
A
new BAMONA is coming!
Please be patient if you are
waiting for us to add your new submissions of records and photographs. A new
BAMONA is in development for release in late summer/early fall.
This improved BAMONA will include maps (including Canada) displaying
point data and recent submissions and will feature a new online,
streamlined submission/review process. While we are working hard on
this new release, we will be taking breaks from adding new data and
photographs to this site. You are welcome to continue making
submissions; we will add them to the database, but the turnaround time will be
slower.

BAMONA is currently in arrears with county records
and will probably stay that way another few weeks, for which circumstance I am
partly to blame, but mostly is has to do with the conversion of the BAMONA
website to a newer, more data-entry friendly format. Staff time that used
to be focused on entering new data, including county records, is being used to
update the website.
For now, if you think you might have a county
record, please check the FOY page of my website for the species you think might
be new to your county; if the species is not listed for that county with an
asterisk, meaning that a county record was submitted this year, then go
ahead and submit your record. Please also do David Trently the courtesy of
checking his Not Seen lists and sending him word about any county records you
may make in the next few months.
While on the topic of submitting records, there are
many ways to do that being employed by the many active butterfliers in
Tennessee. Posting BAMONA records to TN-Butterflies seems to be the most
popular
and helpful way to do that, as I can capture the record, including the
documentary photo, and everyone else can know about the record (and see the
evidence).
For now patience is the watchword, as BAMONA goes
through its next metamorphosis, hopefully to emerge in even more spectacular
form in a few more months.
