- ajays 14y agoThank you for coming here and clarifying. I hope this only encourages you to take more photographs, and one day soon you'll have a new species named after you!
- orionmystery 14y agoThank you! Oh I love nature photography, esp the smaller creatures! It will be cool to have a species named after me! :)
