This is a fun way to find out about species that I have not seen before! Case in point - this beautiful moth
Today is Taxonomy Recognition Day!
This small, elegant moth is Tinagma perdicella Zeller, 1839, a species listed as Near Threatened in Finland. Suitable habitats are diminishing due to the overgrowth of meadows and other open areas, as well as a reduction in burnt forest habitats. #NameItToSaveIt

My 1st post here - aptly following my 1st CETAF General Assembly meeting #cetaf57, warmly hosted by the Musée national d'histoire naturelle in beautiful Luxembourg🇱🇺. Wonderful meeting colleagues from across the breadth of our continent to work together in promoting & developing taxonomy!
