If you know it is Araneus pratensis, you can post the
images directly there. If you post to ID Request, the assumption is that you are looking for an ID, which you apparently already have. But maybe you are looking for confirmation, in which case this is the right place to post. If you are confident of your ID, which looks right to us, you can tag and move the images yourself. Click on 'tag all' then move to the Araneus pratensis page and click on Images. Then click on 'move tagged images'

Thank you
Your comment helps clarify for me about where best to post my images on BG for each instance. At this stage in my study, it is nice to receive confirmation of determination, especially from a Contributing Editor to BG, for many of my collections and either when takes the form of a comment of concurrence, after which I can move the post, or otherwise by the reviewer directly moving the post to the proper section.
