  Ferdie, I have a time lapse video of a Monarch chrysalis changing color, the butterfly emerging and flying away. It's posted on Youtube.
  
  Is there a way to post it here, too? Or would it be OK to include the link in my description? Posted 10 years ago

    hi Thom, yes you are encouraged to post videos. Well, links to videos (Youtube or Vimeo). As you just did, you can put them in comments. Furthermore, if it shows a specific species like here, you can add it to the videos section of that species. Check out the species block next to the photo for the species' videos button.
    
    Finally, it's possible to add a video to a country, if the video is typical for a specific country. I hope this helps? Posted 10 years ago
