Hi @Michael123
Thank you for your consideration in asking (not to mention your interest!!)

I am a 'Facebook-free-zone' for personal reasons. Whilst I am happy for you to use these images on your site, it would be conditional on my not being identified in any way. If there is to be any attribution , can you make it something innocuous, such as a 'NSW Nth Coast contributor to NatureMapr'.

Will that work for you?

Cheers,

MazzV

Native to the far NE corner of NSW and SE Qld but has been widely distributed along the NSW coast south to Sydney via the plant nursery industry through the movement of living plant material.

Trevor / MazzV,
Could these images be posted in 'Snails of Australasia' Facebook group ?
