Michael,
Thanks for the information. I can't speak for anyone else, but I didn't know
any of this. I'll have to try a new approach.

Larry and all,
John Carr recently moved my ID request at BugGuide for what I thought was a
Catocala, but did not say where he moved it. It still had not been identified.
So I asked him. Here is what he said,
"I moved the moth to "moths", which is where moths live if they don't have a
more specific ID. Contributors are encouraged to submit moths directly to the
moths page but we haven't gotten around to officially saying so. Draft
guidelines are here: <http://bugguide.net/node/view/298899>. It's understood
that an image posted to moths wants a more specific ID. If images don't get an
ID after a short time in ID request we try to move them to another page. ID
request used to have thousands of images and nobody paid attention to pictures
after the first few pages anyway. If you are sure of your moths' genus you can
move to genus page."
When I looked to see where it was in Moths, it was page 28 (apparently goes in
by date of original submittal, not when moved). So it is to one's advance to
submit a moth image directly to moths and not to the general ID area. There
should be a better chance of a moth expert seeing the image there. You all may
know all about this, but the green one here did not. The link to use that goes
directly to Moths is http://bugguide.net/node/view/82/bgimage. Then you can see
directly under the word Moths, the link to add image as well as recent images.
