Thank you, Andrzej, very much!
They are all, in their own way, spectacular animals.

pls post all flies to the Diptera page: this will get you IDs faster, as our dipterists look for BG work there rather than in ID Request; also, refer to this forum thread for more recommendations

WOW! Thanks!
Just tagged the image and moved it to Diptera page. Also moved a moth. Life is gooder!

Soooooo ...
... I go to Guide Page for Diptera. Then I search around and see "Images" and enter therein, right? And, lo, there is "add images"! So that is how it is done? Got it.

Would it help to do the same for all ID requests?

"Would it help to do the same for all ID requests?"
yes, absolutely. the thing is, there's no point in leaving ANY pictures in ID Request for over a couple of days: those few experts who look for pix to ID under the 'ID Request' tab [rather than in their respective sections of expertise] hardly ever go past the most recent few pages anyway...
