Thanks..:) But if I find something I can take the effort to find the local name for it... The whole Nearctic ecozone is new for me, cause I am more used to the European fauna

Since the database uses the Scientific Name, the Latin name is the most important. A Common Name is required but you can suggest the name in Hungarian. The recipient can look up the common name in their language :)

Czezar Csongor

Ok, I will use the suggest an ID option. However I only can suggest Latin names , since my knowledge for common names is limited to Hungarian language.

We're so glad you did! It looks like you have a great start finding missions and commenting! If you provide more ID's, you can use the "Suggest an ID" under the image for a formal suggestion. Thank you for your contribution and have a great time with this awesome community and data!

Hello Czezar, of course I don't mind :) I'm using an EF 100mm f/2.8L macro on my Canon.

What lens are you using , if you don't mind me asking?
