  1. You're doing awesome pioneering work in the community by describing Finland's insects, a beautiful series that is well appreciated, I just want you to know that. Posted 9 years ago
    1. Thanks fchristant. We have plenty of same insect species (as well as birds and plants) as in the central and southern Europe but fortunately also some more northern and eastern species so I guess I have good possibilities to find some more new species to contribute :). Posted 9 years ago
      1. That would be great, and please know that species don't have to be new to the site, we appreciate any species, the more the merrier. Posted 9 years ago

    1. Nice to hear that my friend. I have been photographing butterflies only a couple of years so this was the first identified to me as well ;).
