Hello. The scientific name of the copperhead is Agkistrodon contortrix. If you save that to the scientific name space provided on your spotting screen (while you're editing), then your spotting will be automatically removed from the unidentified list. This is just a tip. You can find out a whole host of other tips and useful information by reading the FAQs here http://www.projectnoah.org/faq Thanks!
