It’s no problem at all! The typo actually made me laugh quite a bit! You don’t need to copy me at all, seeing as you have such a great fund of knowledge, but how flattering, nonetheless!

Hi Mauna. Just going over all my spottings that have comments to see if I missed any others and I see I really did a job on your name way back when :-) Sorry about that. I really appreciate all the help you've been and I've tried to copy you as I learn. Thanks a bunch.

mauna Junzah - Thanks for the ID. I've been taking pictures here in the Amazonian jungles of Ecuador for over 30 years and thought I'd see if someone could help identify the hundreds of creature pictures I have. My specialty is herpetofauna, so I appreciate the help with Arthropods.
