Moved to guide page
- I see you are new to posting so perhaps you didn't realize you could post straight to the image page for the species. I have also moved a couple of your other images. When posted to the species page, the scientific name shows up automatically after your title - you may want to edit titles in light of that.
Very nice shots - welcome to BugGuide!
