Why frass?

First WI picture, and nothing wrong with it.

Hannah,I was only trying to clean things up. Did not realize that it was the first Wisconsin photo plus we already had a ton of photos. Moved to guide.

There's some disagreement on this amongst editors

- since the ranges of most species are generally known - but I think the majority of us like to see at least one image to represent each state where the species is known - it gives an indication of the season adults are seen in each part of the country, and for the contributor, it's kind of a thrill to see your state lit up on the data map, when it wasn't before, too. Bandwidth not being a problem (at least, not yet), the only consideration is whether the image is representative - if you think not, just uncheck the box on the form and it won't show up in Browse or Info view, just Images. I wouldn't move a very poor quality image to the guide, but this one's OK I think.

(BTW if you think two pages of images is a lot, take a look at Argiope aurantia some time).

Looks like Two-striped Planthopper (Acanalonia bivittata). I am sure Dr Hamilton can confirm.
