Just came across a super useful looking resource for wing venation that I’d not seen before. http://drawwing.org/insects/diptera Reminded me of a recent post about identification. Couldn’t find it to add to it, but thought I’d share anyhow…

If it ends up being too much work to write the labels and add coloring, then adding different colors to mark the veins wou…

If you mean my initial comment that this reminded me of a recent post about identification…not sure who made the post - but it was querying resources for ID…looking for help figuring out wing venation and anatomical terms, etc. So, no, not your wiki, but maybe another post by you? The website has …

Are you talking about the Wiki that I made, Wiki - American Peppered Moths? Or are you talking about someone else’s post? Now I am interested as well.
