Ditto. Annoying if you then can't easily work out which one didn't actually load.
I really liked this spider.

Yeah, I've had that happen a few times, mainly when I'm uploading a ton of sightings

Now attached. Sometimes the CNM just doesn't work properly. It all looks okay from my end but the photos don't appear at the other. And obviously the photo is the first step in the process so it doesn't actually get missed out. Weird.

Hey @arjay, there doesn't appear to be a photo attached to this sighting, could you please double check this :)

Hey @WendyEM, I just did some more digging and you're right about this one! While Both H. invensuta and A. jovialis juveniles look very similar, the later has a couple white dots on the opisthosoma as well as the presence of white pedipalps. The first leg pair of H. invensuta is flatter, a bit wider and longer in comparison to A. jovialis

Holoplatys invenusta
