Jeff, Are you taking these pictures in Vestavia or Vestavia Hills which I found in your user address? On this particular submission I edited the location and checked the adult box at the bottom of the ID request form so I could place this moth. When I checked your previous photos I noticed that you had done it properly, but I noticed the difference in your address and the location you typed in. Those things are important for the guide.

Technically, it's Vestavia Hi
Technically, it's Vestavia Hills, but most folks drop the "Hills." Including FedEx and UPS. There's only one place, though. It's referred-to both ways. Also my name should be showing as Stott, not Jeff.

Oh, that's cool.
I'll try to remember to always check adult in the future. Thanks for the confirmation!
