Will move to guide
Neat photo--I did not know these things came to flowers.

You can add new photos directly to the guide for that species. To find your species, it is usually easiest to search on genus (Necrophila here, not Necrophilia!) Then switch to the browse tab to browse through the species, and then go to that species and click on images to see images, where you can upload. The Latin name is entered automatically--no need to enter it. All this takes a little practice.

If there is no guide for your species, then one of the editors will do it for you.
