I mean, really, if someone visits a plant on the database it will have maybe 10 beeless photos for every flower/bee photo (or whatever other pollenator...using bees here as an example). How can that be upsetting to someone? I think it enhances the database and also provides additional information.
There has never been any prejudice about showing pollinators on flowers nor would it upset someone. I never said "that many people don't want to see bugs on the database flowers".
What I said was, and I am quoting my post,
"The only thing I don't like about the idea of adding bug shots to an entry is members tend to give new photos or interesting photos lots of thumbs-ups and I don't think a critter photo should become the main representative thumbnail photo for any given plant."
I like bug shots in entries, others do too and people tend to give them many thumbs up without ever even opening up the plant entry and they can then becomes the main thumbnail, the main image one sees when scrolling though the database. And if they are bugs that are largely obscuring the actual bloom or leaf etc. of that plant, that would not exactly be the best representation of that plant. So I never said I don't like bug shots in entries, just what happens when they do get added, so adding another gallery specific for pollinators could then create an entirely different representation of that plant entry, with the potential of bugs dominating the entry. I am sure that if and when Dave does implement something for pollinators, he will take that info consideration and program it to keep the plant as the primary representation so that those pollinators can be, as you said, something that "enhances the database and also provides additional information."
