Oh, I see... ;-)...
Welcome to Project Noah, Sandra!
Now, since you have now the correct ID, you should add the common and scientific name into the corresponding field by editing your spotting. If you know an ID you do not need to make a suggestion for one of your own spottings, only for spottings of others. If you are not sure about an ID, leaf it "blank" and "unknown", so that others notice it and help you with finding the proper ID.
If you want know more about this thrilling community, just take a look around and read our FAQ:

There is a lot to detect and enjoy!!
And yes, it is an exciting find, not even for a teeny! I am already an "old" man and never have seen this until now ;-)...

Thank you bayucca. This was quite an exciting find for my 10 y/o. It's going to school today. Thanks for correcting the spelling.
