Bold DNA
I see you have used BOLD data. There are numerous major forks in the BOLD nearest neighbor tree for both O. inconspicua and O. avara. How did you decide the fork which contains your specimens' DNA is actually the species yo selected? I have always struggled with this and would like to hear how someone else is doing it. thanks

Sent specimens to BOLD
for all the caddis flies which I have just posted. The posted ID's are based on BOLD results for the COI sequences which they ran on them. (I had submitted no preliminary ID for any of them.)

In the case of O. inconspicua, sent in three specimens and all came back a 100% match. Will e-mail you extracts from the tree and results.

Would it be useful
to add the specimen ID to all of the posted images, or to add links to the BOLD public specimen record for the specimen, then maybe anyone could have a look without asking for an email? Would that work better?
