  Thank you for that clue!

    Thankyou. I did try to make the ID but not sure how that is done.
    The site looks very well built but I haven't figured that one out yet. Posted 9 years ago

      Thank you. Normally you can just use the "identify species" button which is to the right of the photo if it is unidentified. From the dialog that appears, you can simply type in the species name. Posted 9 years ago

      To correct a wrong ID you have to remove it from the red X below it. Then you will get the "identify species" button again. Posted 9 years ago
