Hi Michael, re your last three comments, I did put these all in the correct categories. In fact I identified this one as a Cabbage white butterfly. Is this perhaps another bug in the system?

Hi Alison
Apparently you have found another bug. I expect it will take quite a while to sort them all out.
Another bug is that I didn't get a notification that you put a comment here when I should have.

This record still has problems due to trying to edit. Animal size e.g. shows three times
