We need to know for record keeping. Does anyone know how BAMONA handles this? BugGuide lumps the caterpillars with adults. It is a species record. I would like to hear what others think and an agreed upon policy made. I think it makes sense to count a caterpillar as a FOY moth record. It should be noted that it is a caterpillar.
