Hi Melanie and welcome to Project Noah! You have a great start to your submissions!

It would be great if you could add the scientific names to your spottings. This allows them to be added to the site's database and removes them from the "unknowns".

I noticed that a couple of your spottings have images with humans in them. The focus here is on non-human organisms, so please crop the images so the organism can be the star!

It would be a good idea to read through the FAQ page: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq

If you have additional questions feel free to email us or stop into the chats. I look forward to seeing more of your spottings!
