Frassed?
Abigail, I don't think the fact that there are other images from the same month or state is a reason to discard data. Those images are not from the same day, place and maybe year. What appears common and redundant today, could be valuable data for someone else years from now. That's the whole point of having a tool like BugGuide where the strength in the data is the compounded efforts of many contributors. It is like a museum collection of insects--if it has proper data, the specimen is a data point. Museums do not, or should not, discard data simply because it is duplicative. Unless there is some policy that I am not aware of on BugGuide, I think all valid data should be preserved.

Okay, will de-frass
I just noticed that every skipper I've photographed has been a Sachem and felt a bit bad about clogging the node with my not-so-terrific pics. I actually am quite the data-point collector over in the lady beetle section (I've been getting pressure to remove some Multicolored Asian Lady Beetles and am strongly resisting!) but I apparently don't think as highly of my own pics. However, since you've just made my favorite argument, it's definitely de-frass time :-)

Sachem
This is certainly a Sachem--a male--someone should move it...
