Thank you and a question

Hi Bob
Thank you also so much for your service as well.

Hey was wondering if you know...

a) should we post pics of same species if it's later in the year or different year? Or does bugguide mostly want to know about each species once?

b)also I have a dream feature for the website that I would love to communicate but don't know how best to do that. What I would LOVE is to be able to look thru identified specimens within say 50 miles. I was thinking this might reduce burden on entomologists a lot. Do you have any suggestion about how to communicate such an idea?
