Click on "Edit this spotting"; you can add more missions by checking more than one mission. Then the same spotting will appear in mulptiple missions.

I'd be happy to. Is there a way to repost this spotting there, or do I need to re-post this spotting again in that mission? I still don't have a grasp of the UI on this site.

I suggest you add this spotting to the Global Dragonflies & Damselflies mission too. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/6524202

Notice the dragonfly exuvia to the upper-right of the adult female.

I think this may be a photo of a female Great Blue Skimmer. Can anyone verify my tentative ID?
