Thank you Yasser! I think Project Noah is the best thing after sliced bread---and I really like sliced bread! I particularly like the way it doesn't just bring knowledge together, but also brings people together who are so generous to share their knowledge. Keep it up, friends!
What a beautiful collection of photos! I also really love the quote on your profile page. Welcome to Project Noah!
Wow what a beautiful insect! Fantastic spotting!
