Yes, me too. I'll check that I have that option activated! Thank you!

I have checked an option that PN has..I get an email whenever someone suggests an ID. I hate to have unknown spottings (rather childish...sorry) and feel a deep sense of satisfaction when a spotting gets a name.
I detest cockroaches...but your spotting was actually attractive!

Thank you Sukanya! You are never a pain! It is wonderful to have your help! Sorry I was missing your ID suggestions, for some reason, they don't always appear like the comments do.
