Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
thanks bayucca. That's very interesting, both BOLD and EOL show 3 completely different organisms under this name. One looks very much like this spotting. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/174...
thanks Mark... the blue colour was flashing at me when it caught the light in the rainforest !
