Hi and welcome to Project Noah! You're off to a great start and I see you're also in Oklahoma. There's a mission for OK spottings and it would be great if you could join and add yours. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7959...

One tip: when you know the identity of your organism, it's important to complete the spotting with the scientific name. That way the spotting can be entered fully into the database and other users can learn more about it. Also, it takes the spotting off the "unidentified" list. Thanks so much and keep on spotting! :-)
