Hi there. Since you know the identity of your organism, please go ahead and fill in the scientific name field. This allows the spotting to fully enter the database and become complete, letting groups and individuals use the data and find your spotting. It also takes the spotting off the "unidentified" list. Thank you! Here's a great Project Noah blog entry that explains the spotting process: http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/28702494728/whats-in-a-name
Thank you Dunia! and Welcome to Project Noah!!
I couldn't help but notice the marshmallow; try NOT to feed wildlife, especially alligators! This will desensitize them from humans & may lead to them being put down! If you see others doing it, please convince them not to. :)
