Thanks Maria. Please feel free to share.

Thanks Leuba. It remains my most unexpected wildlife pose.

Thanks Neil. I've seen a lot of mantids but never a display like this one. Very cool.

Congratulations Vipul. Terrific shot.

Thanks Watson5. In quarantine for Covid-19 with no internet so just seeing this. I saw today this was nominated for SOTW. I've never had one of those.

Cool spotting Ornithoptera. And good notes too. Thanks for sharing.

Cool. I used to see way too many of these bad boys killed on midwestern roads trying to cross to greener pastures. Thanks DeathShadeSally.

The state bird of my home state, Iowa and 2 others. Thanks Sally.

Cool that she was full of eggs. If you would accept a little help from someone who learned late and had to go back and change about 100 spottings :-) When you put the scientific name the Genus is always capitalized and the species is always lower case (ex: Lithobates sylvaticus). Where I messed up, and many long-time posters still mess up, is in the Habitat. Don't put what Wikipedia or whatever source says. We can get that from any links you put in the Reference Bod. Put where you found yours, for example, on a leaf along the edge of a stream or in a local marshy area. You only have a few postings to correct and you've got everything else right. As I said, I had to redo over 100 ☹ . I look forward to more of your spottings. Your pictures have great detail. Well done.

Again, great detail. Thanks DeathShadeSally.
