Hi Claude,
If you know where a species belongs (order, superfamily, family, etc.), go ahead and put it there. Most regular viewers don't even bother looking through the ID Requested thumbnails, but go straight to the Recent. Some specialists just look at the taxon they specialize in, which is why it's a good idea to have your image there for them to see.

Strange antennae!
Is that how they're supposed to be - fat and then skinny?

 
Delphacidae
If you look at the delphacidae section of the Guide you will see antennas are often like that: very fat at the base, ending with an almost invisible filament. Amazing creatures...Wonder what channels they receive with these devices :)

 
Strange critters in that section!
Thanks for encouraging me to check it out! =) Also odd is that the antennae connect to the head below the eyes. I don't think I've seen that before on an insect.
