Lepidocyrtus paradoxus

Indeed.

BTW, this is how I visit Bugguide on daily basis :
Springtails and allies (Collembola)
Images
Recent
Then Bugguide gives me a list of newly posted images at all kind of levels from Springtails and allies (Collembola) onwards.
So you can post them at any level you are certain.

Thanks, Frans

...for the IDs and for the springtail-sorting advice. I'll ID them to the lowest certain taxon from now on.

Moved from Springtails and allies.

Moved from ID Request.

Please feel free to post springtails directly to Collembola.

Does this apply for any higher taxon? Should I always submit my photos to the taxon that I'm sure they belong to, or should I only do that for springtails?

… mws, 2 June, 2019 - 4:45pm

Many experts don't visit ID Request....

...and images posted there are rapidly buried under pages of new submissions, especially in the summer--so I'd suggest posting to your deepest level of certainty. A few qualifications:

1. I stress certainty. If you're not completely sure, post to a higher level.

2. Post to "major" taxonomic levels, and avoid infraorders and other "odd" levels where folks are unlikely to be looking.

2. If the best you can do is "insect" or "arthropod," just go ahead and post to ID Request.

Thank you for the advice

I'll try to get my springtails to the appropriate orders from now on, and do what I can for anything else.

… mws, 2 June, 2019 - 7:34pm

I would suggest posting springtails...

...to Collembola--but it's your call.

… Ken Wolgemuth, 2 June, 2019 - 7:43pm

Why?

Does Frans not look at the orders individually?

… mws, 2 June, 2019 - 8:47pm

I think he'll see it here...

...but I know he'll see it there. Just leave it and see what happens.

… Ken Wolgemuth, 2 June, 2019 - 8:49pm

Will do

Additionally

Am I not able to move my own photos after I've added them? I can't seem to find an option for that.

… mws, 2 June, 2019 - 4:47pm

Nevermind that second comment

I just figured it out. I have to tag the images to move them.
