Kylie, How do you feel about suggesting names for your insects using the pictures in AWNMR. This makes it much quicker for me to confirm or otherwise. Rogerf

I usually do it on the next day from upload as I'm too tired out to do it after an arvo of editing photos and uploading! I go to Albury Wodonga nature map first if I think I've had it id'd before or the ACT site if not. I do find it hard to remember the names of anything except flowers, birds and butterflies off the top of my head. So if you wait a couple of days I will then go back in and try and ID them!
