Yeah no problem. I wanted to put it in the moth one but wasn't sure if it was. I picked a mission similar to get some attention, didn't see the pollinator description from my phone app.
Spectacular! This will turn into a striking pink and orange moth!! http://bugguide.net/node/view/6470/bgimage Please add this to my mission, "Moths of the World:" http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841449 Could you please remove it from the mission "Pollinating Insects of the World?" The mission only allows spottings of insects actually pollinating the flowers. Thank you so much!
