yep, Riley hat trick
Ed collected it, determined it and it's curated in his personal collection.
So what links do you check to monitor everything I do on BG?

I do not monitor everything you do on Bug Guide. It is not difficult for anyone to miss your new Bug Guide posts since you very often advertise them on the Bug Guide Facebook page and other groups.
You probably already know that clicking the recent tab brings up all the new posts and makes it easy to find interesting critters such as this one.
Many of your photos of pinned specimens leave the question of collector. Chris Grinter and most others do a great job of making it very clear.

Grinter has posted 249 great photos,
but he doesn't always post much associated info such as with this
photo
or this
species page
.
I trust you've already publicly chastised him over these lapses in (unwritten) protocol, or are you just singling me out for such treatment?

the simple question was ...who collected it.
Grinter's post was mentioned only because it was a very nice recent post of a pinned specimen from a collection, and I did not review his other photos.
No, your other actions were the only problems brought to the public forum. Others complained offline, but I posted about it after emails to you failed to solve.

great job of making it very clear.
So now that you know that he's not necessarily doing a "great job of making it very clear" you're going to chastise him, right?
Grinter has done a great job (for which he's paid) of posting a few hundred photos. Whereas I've posted nearly 10,000 photos, all on my own nickel and I don't need your selective, arbitrary approval to continue. Before you keep throwing rocks at me, shouldn't you say somewhere on your profile whether or not you collect any of the subjects you photograph, and if so, where they are deposited?
Of all the questions to ask about a species, 'who coll'ed spmn X?' probably isn't among the top ten that come to mind.
