Species in ALL CAPS can be classified into three categories in the state
of Iowa: 1) UNRECORDED, ACCIDENTAL or Casual; 2) A RARE but regular
species; or 3) record early or late date or unusual for time of year. Any
species with three asterisks (***species***) would represent a first record
for Iowa (UNRECORDED) and should be observed and documented very carefully.
Species with two asterisks (**species**) are species that are either
ACCIDENTAL, CASUAL, or a rare regular species, and should also be
documented. Species with one asterisk (*species) should have some details
of the observation provided.
