Well if there were ever a chance to ID a Tipulid to species, then this photo (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/234...) has a better chance than this photo (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/158...).
If there were ever a chance to ID a Chironomid to species, then this photo (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/639...) has a better chance than this photo (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/871...).
I have seen worse photos than the latter selections in my examples above. All they are doing is taking up space and cluttering organism searches. In addition, specimens representing both of the above families are frequently tagged or described as "mosquitoes." This website has a lot of housekeeping issues.. That is what I mean.
With that said, this website needs to add a comment section on member profile pages. Having this discussion here is out of place...
Very well, DanielePralong. Thank you for getting me on the right track.
What are the PN Rangers doing about all of the blurry photos?
I stand corrected. I deleted my suggestion.
After people help, you should edit your spotting to reflect the correct information..
Good photos of a female crane fly. Since it is a crane fly, I recommend that you remove the tag "mosquito."
Since this is a crane fly, I recommend that you remove the tags "anopheles" and "mosquito." Also change your description.
Since this specimen is a crane fly, I recommend that you remove the tag "mosquito" from this spotting.
