Lynn--
Please post all flies to the Diptera page: this will get you IDs faster, as our dipterists look for BG work there rather than in ID Request

Thanks, v. plus a suggestion.
Is there a LIST somewhere for where to post first, ie: bees, spiders, bugs, etc.?
I know that springtails go right to springtails.

SUGGESTION: If there is a list I think it would be helpful to add it to the ID Request page.
