Dave,
It has been pointed out to me that we have two entries in BugFiles for the Giant Swallowtail. One as Papilio cresphontes and one as Heraclides cresphontes.
It appears that Papilio is the correct genus, now and I can merge the two entries as far as all the images and comments are concerned.
There are however a lot of zipcode reports in both entries and there appears to be no means for transferring these from one entry to another. Any chance of providing a means of transferring these.
I could add them all individually to the correct entry, if I knew the zipcodes, but they only appear in the listing as the locality names, whereas the entries have to be made as zipcodes,

Ken

Hi Ken,

I've copied over all the zipcode reports. Feel free to delete the old bug now as everything seems to have successfully been moved.

best,
dave

Thanks Dave,
I have now deleted the Heraclides cresphontes entry.

Just a reminder, but we still have no means of recording synonyms in BugFiles. The Giant Swallowtail is an example where it would be useful to be able to store both names

Thank you for the reminder. Do we have a thread about that in the BugFiles forum?
