Determine if a species is a micro or a macro moth #17

Closed PietrH closed 4 months ago

PietrH commented 9 months ago

Is there any way to programmatically tell if a species is a micro or a macro moth? Can I look this up using the waarnemingen species lists (backbones available as csv files, I found them once, I can find them again), or maybe even via matching to gbif?

Will definitely need a lookup table if we go this route:

Microlepidoptera (micromoths) is an artificial (i.e., unranked and not monophyletic) grouping of moth families, commonly known as the "smaller moths" (micro, Lepidoptera). These generally have wingspans of under 20 mm, so are harder to identify by external phenotypic markings than macrolepidoptera

Dirk has a file he joins into to determine if a species is a micro or a macro moth, so he'd join the export from waarnemingen into this table, and then you can group on MicroMacro if you like :)

This is low priority, #16 probably fixes this completely
