Good

Once again I say THANKS. To move them back would I go to FRASS and tag the image, then find the page with that species and then what?

Go to Frass, and

tag the image. Then, navigate to the appropriate species page. Make sure you are in the Images tab, then click "move tagged images."

If you run into difficulty, just let me know, and I'll help you put things where they need to be.

And don't worry... You'll get the hang of things soon enough.

Confused in Schwenksville

Don't be confused. You're doing fine. :)

You were just following the "rules," which say to move your images to Frass after they're given an ID. The idea behind that suggestion is to make sure that the pics that make it into the Guide are (1) correctly ID'd and (2) clear enough to be of use to others. The idea is that you move the pic to Frass and the editors then decide whether or not to put it into the Guide.

In practice, however, it works a little differently. If you're certain of your bug's ID, feel free to place it at the genus/species level. If you're not sure, submit it to ID request. Then just sit tight. The editors will eventually move it into the Guide or Frass it.

Feel free to ask questions if you're not sure how things work around here. You'll find that the community is a friendly one, and eager to be of assistance.

Thanks for the help.

Ken,

Don't know where that last email went -- out into the aether I guess. Anyway, I move all my remaining FRASS images back to where they belong. As my wife would say, "There's an hour and a half I won't get back". Good explanation -- especially SIT TIGHT. Also thanks for allowing me to direct a question or seven in your direction if the occasion arises.

Frassed

Moved from Ailanthus Webworm Moth.

Moved

Moved from ID Request.

Feel free to place images directly into the guide if you are certain about the ID. Also, remember to check "adult" or "immature" when posting lep images. Otherwise, they won't display properly.

Ok on the immature or adult.

Ok on the immature or adult. Why does my comment appear twice -- one in the subject and again in the comment? This has happened several times -- help !!

… Link M. Davis, 29 March, 2011 - 9:02am

Not really sure...

I always assumed that this happened when someone commented without specifying a subject. My thought was that the site automatically filled in the subject field with the first few words of the comment. But I've never experimented to see if it really works that way. With luck, someone else will have an answer for you.
