The photographer wasn't without recognition. He is now a published co-author in a scientific journal. That's something.

  if you're not in the academia rat race, "published co-author in a scientific journal" is useless.

  Not really. I am not getting much publicity out of this. No $$ for sure since the images were all under CC-BY creative common licensing. No much fame either due to the way the attribution was done. My real name was used rather than my more common nick: Kurt orionmystery. Oh well.

    That sucks... I hope you're not too bitter about it. Would you mind sharing your flickr page here?

      A little, actually. But luckily I did get a bit of exposure from Yahoo News and Flickr Blog. They asked me nicely if they could use my images and how I would like to be attributed. I told them to use my nick instead of my real name, and also include link to my blog. My blog entry on this new species is here: http://orionmystery.blogspot.com/2012/08/semachrysa-jade-new-lacewing-species.html http://orionmystery.blogspot.com/2012/08/semachrysa-jade-new... You can find my flickr page from there :)

      Daily Mail UK is the worse. The moderator wouldn't even let me comment on its page!
