hi,

Just wanted to pass on some friendly information from a fellow contributor:

1. So the site doesn't get overwhelmed, they ask that you "Please limit yourself to just a few of your best shots for a particular specimen." (This is stated on the ID request page next to the link to add an image). I have found it is rarely helpful to add more than three photos of a single specimen.

2. Often, the important view for identifying periodical cicadas is a ventral view – which appears to be the only view you did not submit.
