permission to use photograph
Hi!
I would like to kindly ask if you would be giving permission to use amazing Photo#1713841 (E. atala) for a cover submission for a scientific journal. I am looking for a great photo in relation with a soon-to-be-published scientific study on color vision in E. atala. The journal may or may not chose it of course, but if chosen, your photograph will be front page, credited ('Photograph courtesy of'). FI, the journal also asks to grant them a license to publish and reproduce the photo. I think it would be pretty cool to have a front page with such a beautiful creature, so let me know.
Many thanks!
Marjorie (happy to discuss more @ lienardmarjo@gmail.com)

Spined micrathena
I’d like to use your photo of the spined micrathena on my Instagram. I’ve taken a few photos of the one I just discovered in my yard, but I can’t get her to give me a good view of her abdomen from above, as she’s always upside down against a shrub in her web. I’m going to post my photos and yours at the end so people can see the shot I can’t seem to get. Thank you for your posts!

Permission to use carabid picture
Dear Roar,
I am Matt O'Neal, a professor at Iowa State University. I would like to use your excellent picture of a Pterostichus (https://bugguide.net/node/view/825817) in a webinar this week. The webinar is about the use of prairie strips for conserving beneficial insects, like this carabid. It is part of a non-profits' (Liberty Prairie Foundation) summer lecture series (http://libertyprairie.org/).
Hope you are doing well. Your pictures are great.

My name I am a PhD student at the University of Georgia and I'm putting together an eOrganic article about ground beetles where I inform growers about some of the more common genera. I was hoping to use one of your images to represent Amara.
The picture in question is Photo#906986

Photo license
Hello John,
I am a graduate student at Cornell University in the department of Plant Biology. I am preparing a manuscript involving Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) pollination and it turns out that the Nitidulid beetles Glischrochilus fasciatus and Glischrochlius quadrisignatus are frequent visitors to Pawpaw flowers in Ithaca, NY. I would like to make a pollinator/visitor network diagram and was wondering if I might be able to use two images of yours in the diagram with credit to you?

your picture 949611of Cosmobaris scolopacea
Hi - I'm preparing a field-guide for identification of the invertebrates of St Helena in the South Atlantic for the St Helena National Trust and need to illustrate Cosmobaris sclopacea which is established on some of the indigenous plants there. Any chance of using this picture? We've no budget and so can't offer payment, I'm afraid, but we'd obviously acknowledge you as source of the picture however you like.
Kind regards

firefly images
I am putting together a firefly talk for small group of folks at a nature preserve in northwestern Wisconsin and I was hoping I might be able to use a couple images you posted to Bugguide in my Powerpoint presentation. You would be acknowledged as the photographer and no other distribution of any images would be made.
Please let me know – you have some very nice images and I’d certainly prefer to show my audience the best I can find.

Permission to use sap beetle and tarnished plant bug photos?
I was wondering if I could get permission to use your photo of a sap beetle adult (http://bugguide.net/node/view/688201/bgimage)and your photo of a tarnished plant bug adult (http://bugguide.net/node/view/824980)? It would be for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food website "Ontario CropIPM" (http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/IPM/english/index.html, http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/IPM/french/index.html). This is an educational website that is publicly accessible for no charge.
I should mention that there is the possibility that in the future, we might make the tool available on a CD, which there probably would be a charge for, to cover the costs (in case that makes a difference to your decision about permission to use it).

Permission request
Hi,
I’m writing to ask permission to use a photo of yours of Gargaphia solani (egg-plant lace bug) on the BugGuide site (photo no. 834443) in a scientific article I'm writing.
The article will be in a peer-reviewed journal published by a non-profit science academy and will be freely available to all 12 months from publication. I receive no payment for the article.
If all's OK, please could you also let me know how to access a hi-res version of the photo if possible and tell me how you would like it to be credited.
Best wishes
