Please email me at e.butterfly.help@gmail.com and I will give you a template to fill it out with your records so we can upload them through the back end

Hello,

I received an email from you answering my eButterfly Forum inquiry. I wanted to know how to upload my records. I have 15 years and 7700 records of my butterfly sightings that I would like to add to eButterfly. I wanted to know the easy way to upload it.

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Anne, please email me at e.butterfly.help@gmail.com and I will give you a template to fill it out with your records so we can upload them through the back end

I am sorry that I cannot send you the template through here, but w might need to have a video call to guide you on how to fill it out.

Sorry about this delay. I just now visited e.butterfly. Fire away with the template and I will get started!
I used a csv file to upload all my birding records into eBird last year. This year’s resolution is to do the same at e.butterfly!!

Thanks again for your help!

Hi Anne, thanks for your message and following up

We are still working on our taxonomy update and preparing to go global in a couple of weeks, which has kept our development team quite busy.

But don’t worry; the request is in, and I will contact you as soon as the uploading template is ready.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

PS: This is a copy from an email I sent you as well
