Of course they might ignore you altogether, as they typically are not concerned with invertebrates, unless they're aquatic.  |
Heres the Wisc web site:
WDNR - Butterflies & Moths of Wisconsin
Their online docs regarding submitting specie accounts do not cover butterflies that I have documented (so far anyways). If I do run across one of the endangered or threatened I will submit, however, Crex Meadows is already a documented Karner Blue habitat.
The butterflies and Moths.org was formerly run by the USGS:
This Resource Has Moved
On this page in the FAQs they tell you how to submit sightings for record updates:
Get Involved | Butterflies and Moths of North America
State and Regional coordinators:
Who are the state/regional coordinators, and what do they do? | Butterflies and Moths of North America
The wisconsinbutterflies.org person is the point man for the butterfly site, so I am hoping that this information I am submitting to him is ending up as regional data, updating our knowledge on a national scale.
Its been fun for me to get my little "your submission has been approved and the species location record was updated ..." confirmation note the wisconsin site gives me.
Right now I am waiting to see if I ID'd the skipper in my avatar correctly
