    Thanks for sharing this photo. Note that in JungleDragon, members are asked to include basic details as part of the photo, therefore please consider the following tip(s):

    - You did not share any location info. You are asked to at least share the country in which the photo was taken, since this helps in identifying the species. You can set the country using the "Set country" button. Even better is to geotag the photo, which you can do using the "Geotag this photo" button.

    - You did not identify the species on the photo. To identify the species, use the "Identify species" button. If you do not know the exact species, please share what you do know such as the location and family of species so that others can assist in exact species identification.

    Note that by sharing your photo with more complete details, it will show up in the species browser, the global wildlife map and in search. It helps people find your photo much better, plus it delivers a far more educational photo. Check out our photo sharing tutorial for more information:

      Thank you, this is one of my first posts. I thought I had picked the country (USA), I guess it didn't go through. Anyway, I do not know what species of butterfly this is. I was on my patio when it just landed on the tree and I took the picture. The location was Lowville, NY. Posted 9 years ago

        Thanks, it is a brush-footed butterfly (Nymphalidae). I checked the American species and there are some very similar ones but this one has an extra spot on the forewing that is bugging me... I'll try again when I have some time. Meanwhile, you can try to find a match yourself. We have compiled a list of sites that we use for identification in the guide.

    Welcome to JungleDragon, Karin. As you may have experienced by now, setting the species and location for each photo is essential on this site, it makes possible a lot of other features. If you don't know the species, that is OK though, others will try to chip in usually. Hope you enjoy the site. Posted 9 years ago
