I'm glad you found him so quickly! To enhance your enjoyment of project noah, there are a couple things you should know. Obviously you already know how to edit your spotting. You can earn patches for the number of species you post. Also there are missions. The missions are ways of grouping species. I listed a few you might be interested in. The first one, moth week, http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841... is awarding a limited edition patch for any moth you post to that mission between the 24th and 29th(I believe) of this month.

Thanks Karen. I love finding life in my back yard and photographing it. I chanced upon the name of this fellow while researching jumping spiders. He was not particularly daring when I saw him. I think he was pretty well fed.
May I be the first to welcome you to Project Noah, Darryl. I love your spider
