Hey James what's going on? This is exactly the same photo as your spotting of 3 days ago but the colour and date has changed dramatically. As species, location and time is important to our database they can't both be right. Please remove the incorrect one. Here's the first one... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/144...
Hi James. There is an existing mission "Insects of Florida" http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1416... Cheers
Thank you bayucca
Actual and valid name is now Romalea microptera. Romalea guttata was a synonym, but is outdated or "nomen oblitum".
