@dirtdorphins You can quote the image and the post from the old thread but there is not a one click way to do so....
You will have to be a little familiar with coding and how to get the image file, etc..
the caterpillar is at the lower right of the image.

Good work Goat. I don't know how to do that.

Hi folks! Just found this thread, and thought I would share a few photos. I'm just learning about all the insects in my garden. After going organic, I have seen an influx of all sorts of wonderful insects and spiders. I'm finding new things all the time!

This guy is cute. Maybe a young grasshopper?


Luna Moth


Lynx Spider on sage


Male Widow Skimmer


Robber Fly, he looks menacing. (Kind of hard to see, might want to enlarge.)


Can anyone ID this spider? A cute tiny one, it's iridescent.


Bee on echinacea


Bee on lavender


I think this is a female Eastern Pondhawk dragonfly. She blends right in with the green foliage of the daylilies.


IDs or corrections are welcome! I am enjoying all the other photos in these threads. Looking forward to seeing more.

Hmm...I didn't know that. Someone might want to mention that on the Site Talk Forum. Dave always has ways of "fixing" features we want and that seems like a good one.

Ronnie, that last fly thing has a face that looks like something out of one of my dad's sci-fi shows!

Jessie, we cross-posted. Glad you found us and loving the pictures!

Welcome and I'm thinking a young Bush Cricket / Katydid

Bad, really BAD hair day!!

Tachinid Fly - Juriniopsis adusta

More great pics, Goat!

Hi Jessie, glad you you joined us! Congrats on organic gardening! Your pic of robberfly is my favorite, they are such funny looking characters!

Cute little bee


Same cute little bee and a pollen beetle


Cute little bee and skipper butterfly

@wildflowers That purple colored bloom is getting all the business looks like..

It sure does, Goat! I don't know why, they are both Zinnia elegans.

Welcome Jessie! Your photos are great, thanks for sharing.

I think this looks like a jumping spider, maybe a young Naphys pulex. Not sure though.

Anyone recognize this guest? Found it in a bucket.

Scarewee fellow... I don't know what it is but it what big chompers it has! Could it be a flying insect that lost its wings? Reminds me of a dobson fly or fishfly.

Jessie!
Glad to have you find the thread and new critters in your garden

Outstanding hair day!!!!!

oops--yeah, those brackets are important

no one said: purple rhino elevator

okay, so I'm pretty sure no one ever said that before--so I guess you can put anything in a 'quote box'
but how do you get the image file, Goat? the only way I would know how to do it is to click on the image and download it and then re-up load it, because once the thread is locked I don't know how to bring up the code for the image (and that is way too much of a hassle to bother with)

really though, you can quote from one thread to another, quite easily just with copy/paste, if it is not locked, like this

see, what a nice pic from one of the earlier installments

actually, the whole thing is too much of a hassle to bother with so here is a

cabbage white
and a

hairstreak
and a

swallowtail

Cheers!

Beautiful pics and nice showing off, Dirt!! So you cannot copy/paste if the thread is locked? Always learning new stuff around here.

No really, it looks like a beetle wearing a skirt. It's a cross-dressing Beetle. Buckets need to have more privacy.

well, you can still copy and paste, but
if I just copy/paste your first post from the last thread it does this:

____
Since the last thread was getting so long I thought I would start us a new thread. Smiling

*Reminder to click on the "watch" button.*

We came from here: The thread "Beefriends(tm) and other Garden Guests - threeeeeeeee!!" in Gardening for Butterflies, Birds and Bees forum

Bumble at Dusk
Thumb of 2016-05-26/wildflowers/867fdf
____

and if I click 'quote' to copy the code so that it can be attributed to you properly and display coded things like the link to the previous thread and emoticons and photos, then all I get is the big, red 'i' stating that the thread is locked

but Hey , guess what I just figured out???
if I put the lightbox code in around that thing not showing your picture

it does show up

okay, nevermind my previous question Goat!
so I guess you can copy/paste/rewrite the missing code to quote from a locked thread

still a hassle
really I'm done with it!
please carry on with crossdressing beetles --I'm dying to know what that is
