Actually, no need

to add scientific name to your image. The BugGuide software will put it there as soon as it is moved to the correct guidepage!

and how does the image get mo

and how does the image get moved to the correct guide page?

Oh, sorry, we skipped that part

didn't we! Actually the software behind BugGuide is pretty slick. The contributor (or one of the editors) simply clicks on the tab that says TAG under the image. The image will appear as a thumbnail in the upper left of the screen. Then go to the page in the guide that has the images of the species. In this case that was easy since we had already made a link to that page in our comment. In other cases you would need to do a search or scroll through the Taxonomy. When you get to the proper species page click on the tab that says IMAGES. A new tab that says Move Tagged Images will appear. Click on that and Presto! your image is on the correct guide page with scientific name now attached. Try it for some of your other images that have been identified. You'll like it. The Lappet would be a good one since once again we have already made a link to the correct page in our comment. On that one, be sure to click on TAG ALL so you tag all three images at once rather than having to tag each image individually. On your emerald, the image that bnuts attached to his comment can be your link to the correct page. After you TAG your image, click on his thumbnail and you will go right to the page. Click on IMAGES and you're all set again.
And once again, Welcome, we have been enjoying your images. It's fascinating to sit here in Chicago and see new insect images from Washington every day!

Thanks for the helpful info.

Thanks for the helpful info. Many more images will be coming your way from me - it's like going on safari every day I step out my door from June-Sept. I generally find a new bug I've never seen before about every 3 days. I live in an area that is densely forested primarily with Fir, Alder, Maple, and Cedar, with lots of indigenous shrubs thrown in like salmonberry, blackberry, elderberry, etc. This is a great site.

By the way, can you tell me anything about this moth?

Another useful hint

you can just say 118989, and we can search on the number and find the image since the number is unique to the image. Or you can type [thumb:118989 and end it with a closing square bracket and you will get a thumbnail link to the image such as :
