Why can I not see pictures of sightings when I click 'Hednota species near grammellus' ?
I thought we had decided to put all the controversial 50+ Hednota species in this one entry?

Agreed, there are lot of Hednota species, several difficult to distinguish, but several I think are pretty easy to identify. I'm suggesting H. megalarcha is one of those.

There are now many duplicate listings because taxonomies from former other regions have been introduced to CNM automatically. Sometimes we can remove them if they are empty pigeon holes just by deletion, but if there are already records with which they were linked we cannot, as mere moderstors, fix this problem at the moment. We have to bear with this problem for now until extra programming skills become available at some later date.
