Aveschapines Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Sorry; I'm not sure why I didn't respond to this last year, but we're not looking to expand the site beyond birds, especially not for photo threads; as you all know photos use up a lot of space and the site owner has generously increased our allotment for uploading photos (some of you will remember the "old days" when just a couple of photos used up the allotment) so we are not encouraging people to post more non-bird-related photos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep in mind. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's short for Odonata which is the order of insects that includes Dragonflies & Damselflies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The predictive spelling suggested it, and spell check didn't gag on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did understand it immediately, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson Shank Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Sorry; I'm not sure why I didn't respond to this last year, but we're not looking to expand the site beyond birds, especially not for photo threads; as you all know photos use up a lot of space and the site owner has generously increased our allotment for uploading photos (some of you will remember the "old days" when just a couple of photos used up the allotment) so we are not encouraging people to post more non-bird-related photos. One way to post photos and still have the full quality versions displayed without using WhatBirds' space: upload them to iNaturalist, eBird, or BirdForum first. Then copy to photo link and embed it in your post, by clicking 'insert image from URL.' That way the forum is using the external photo information instead of transferring that info to WhatBirds' database. I only actually upload a picture to WhatBird without and embedded link about once a week... Edited February 26 by Jefferson Shank 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Saw a ton of these Thursday in Gilchrist County, FL. They were on a boardwalk over a spring. If anyone knows what it is I would truly like to know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbruenjes Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Any chance I could get this butterfly identified? I saw it over the summer in Arizona, and I'm not at all familiar with it. Is this the right forum to even ask? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
