Data entry and submissions for BAMONA has slowed way down recently so
those numbers are likely to climb once Jason and BAMONA catch up.
They're spending a lot of time getting the new record submission system
up and running.
I know of a few moth records that were sent to Jason in July that aren't up
yet.

For Tennessee moths, the BAMONA records are in their infancy.
