Documenting wildlife
• What do I put in the fields?
Common name: This is the name that you would use to describe the species. For example, Monarch butterfly.
Scientific name: This is the Latin name used to identify the same species no matter where in the world you might be. For example, the scientific name for the Monarch butterfly is Danaus plexippus. Wherever possible, please include a scientific name for your spotting as this helps us link your spotting with others of the same species. If you know the common name of the species, it is usually possible to find a scientific name by a quick Google search. If you don't know the identity of the species, please complete as much information in the description and select the "Help me ID this species" box. We have many experts within the Project Noah community that will help identify spottings, however we do encourage you to try and find out the identity for yourself using the many resources available on the Internet.
Description: This is where you can add details that may not be clear in the photograph, such as approximate size, which will help in identifying the organism. For animals and birds, you could describe their actions as you saw them, e.g. did they run, walk, hop, swim, dive; were they alone, in pairs, small groups large groups. If there are differences between the males and females but your photo only shows one you could explain these. It is not necessary to copy lengthy descriptions from reference sources here as there is a 'reference links' box for this purpose.
Habitat: Please state the actual habitat where you photographed the spotting - this information can then be used to track changes in habitat, such as those caused by human intervention or habitat destruction. Again, it is not necessary to state published habitat information here, this can be referenced in the 'reference links' box.
Notes: Here you can tell us about your encounter with the spotting and add anything not covered in the above fields. We would also like you to state here if the spotting was made in a zoo, aviary, wildlife center, or other similar establishment.
The information on "habitat" given above has some wrong information. I don't know who wrote it, but one should read the paper by Han et al. (2008) published in the journal, Entomological Research.
The first report of L. delicatula in Korea was in 2004, cllected at Cheonan city, not Seoul.
Doi, a Japanese researcher did not report it. He reported it in early 1932, by guessing the soecies. However, just a few months later he again reported a correction note at the same journal, saying it was his misidentification of L. emelianovi.
This nymph is quite different from the nymph (4th instar) of L. delicatula. See ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=26349

Oh Sckel! What a comparision!!!
Yes indeed, Nymphs are interesting indeed :)
Nymphs are sometimes more interesting than the final product. The first picture reminds me of Fred Astaire, with his black shoes, white socks and amazing performance. :)
