Attractive longicorn and great spotting Atul. Congratulations on being nominated for an SOTW !
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 a lot Doc for the id .... i was pretty much sure you would come for the rescue ;-)
