--000000000000d9e59a06049edf66 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Glad to know you stopped by earlier in the morning. I see just now that Audrey (Whitlock) has just posted 5 photos of Aaron's from the site to iNaturalist. I will assume each is a different animal! We don't want to be submitting multiple photos of the same individual as separate entries -- this applies to any species, butterfly or not. I hope and assume Audrey will post a few other photos from there and Roanoke Island, of Broad-winged, Palatka, etc. I'll get back and approve/agree with each of these in a few minutes. Harry LeGrand Raleigh PS -- The four of us had no real time constraints there! And, yes, we got LOTS of curious onlookers.
