OK, done!
Thanks. But just for information, the habitat box on PN spottings is for the habitat of "your" spotting -- that's what gives it additional scientific value as a location data point -- and this is independent of other sources of information which cannot of course, provide your specific information. Of course you noted it was inside but in such a case the immediate sorroundings would be interesting too. (This advice along with other helpful information can be found on http://www.projectnoah.org/faq if you have a chance to take a look). Cheers
Em, forests. Secondary forests. Often times, I wait for ID suggestions and then use to source for other relevant info altogether.
Nice dragonfly. What is the habitat like outside?
