    May I ask, why do you keep removing the species identification? I've added it twice now, but every time you remove it again? Posted 4 years ago

            No problem, you did nothing wrong :)

            I had a deeper look and the situation is complex and confusing. English Wikipedia considers Rothschildia prionia to be a synonym of Rothschildia orizaba, so two names for the same species. Since JungleDragon uses Wikipedia information, this is why you're getting the name replacement.

            This would be fine if Wikipedia is correct, but it looks like it's not. Other systems such as eol.org consider both names to be independent species.

            So I'll fix it now. Thanks for the patience.             Posted 4 years ago

              I follow the life cycle of Lepidopterans. Can I post several photos in one, like: caterpillar, pupa,adult? Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
