Contributing

Contributions to this website are always very welcome! This page contains guidelines for contributors, and a list of contributors to date. Contributions take many forms and include:

Photos
Videos
Trip reports
Other articles
Site ratings (see the various Sites pages)

Of particular interest are "gaps" where a photo is needed for a particular stage of a butterfly. Click here to see such gaps. In addition, the website provides examples of the upperside and underside of both male and female of each species. Click here to see the gaps.

Contributing Photos - Main Species Pages

The vast majority of contributions to this website are photos, which are often used on the main species pages. As of September 2009, photo contributions are generally only accepted by members registered on the forums (to alleviate the "bottleneck" caused when photos get sent to a particular individual). The process is as follows:

Register on the forums.
Post your contribution(s) in the Species-Specific Album as explained in the Gallery Guidelines.

Contributing Photos - Personal Albums

The website also offers a facility for any registered forum member to set up their own gallery of photos.

Contributing Videos

Here are some guidelines for those wishing to contribute videos for the main species pages:

The preferred format is either .AVI or .WMV
Please send a high-quality video. It will be converted for appropriate streaming over the Internet.

Contact Pete Eeles to make a contribution.

Contributing Trip Reports and Other Articles

Here are some guidelines for those wishing to contribute trip reports and other articles:

The preferred text format is to use Microsoft Word. If this is not possible, please use unformatted text.
If the trip report or article includes photos, then please send these too using the guidelines above.

Policy

No contributions will be sent on to a third party.
There is no guarantee that your contribution will be included. A reason will be given if this is the case.
The copyright of each contribution will remain with the contributor, and the copyright shown on this website.
A contributor can withdraw their contributions at any time, and their contribution will be removed from this website.
All contributors will be acknowledged on this page, unless explicitly requested otherwise.
