Thank you! Oh I love nature photography, esp the smaller creatures! It will be cool to have a species named after me! :)

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

Yes, that's what I thought too when I photographed that beautiful lacewing. The marking really resembled a jumping spider!!!

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...

You can find my flickr page from there :)

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.

I am the photographer. Shaun asked if it's okay to name it after his daughter. At that time, I thought it can't be named after the person who discovered the new species so I agreed.

Anyway, that's in the past now. Click here to check out more images of this beautiful lacewing: http://orionmystery.blogspot.com/2012/08/semachrysa-jade-new...
