dragonfly

Hi Desmond! For your information, Anisoptera is not a scientific name; Anisoptera is a suborder within the order Odonata. In taxonomy (the branch of science which classifies organisms), scientific name refers strictly to the binomial nomenclature of Genus + species. This is explained here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_no...
On Project Noah we ask that the scientific name field is used strictly for the Genus and species. This is important because we use scientific names to classify organisms in our database. Some of this is explained on our faq page:
http://www.projectnoah.org/faq
Information about classification at a higher level (family, order, etc) doesn't go in the scientific name box, but can be added as tags or in Description or Notes.
This is also why we ask that when you make an ID suggestion using the suggestion box, you only use Genus, + species if known. This is also important because our mobile apps allow to accept suggestions and automatically fill in the scientific name field with the content of the suggestion box. Any suggestion made at a higher level can be made using a comment. I hope this helps.

To make this spotting complete you may add the scientific name, which is Anisoptera. But I suggest that you be more specific with the name... which i'm pretty sure is a Scarlet dragonfly (Crocothemis erythraea)

Thanks!

Golden beauty!
