Adding images to the BugGuide library...
WonGun was offering you an ID because you placed your image in "ID Request". The purpose of placing images here is to either ascertain an ID for an unknown specimen or to confirm a suspected ID. If you are certain of the identification of your photo you can submit images directly to the guide page itself, by navigating to the correct page, clicking on the Images tab and then selecting "Add Image" which will take you to an image submission form.
I have gone ahead and moved your image for you, but next time please do feel free to submit your images directly to the guide itself if you have no doubts as to the identity of your specimen.
