As I understand it, including a reference makes it a "complete" spotting and puts it in the class of spottings that can be data-mined by people doing research. Thanks for this sweet spotting, and for adding the reference.
Yeah, I have no problem doing that. I'm just curious, what is the purpose of doing so, and how does a reference helps researchers?
This is a lovely and interesting spotting. To make it complete, and useful to researchers using this site for data, please edit this and add a reference (Wikipedia, Encyclopedia of Life, something else) about this species in the reference field of your spotting. Please do this for each photo you post. Thanks for helping to make Project Noah a complete reference tool for scientists.
