Maybe it can be made visibly more attractive to search through the images gallery.
On the other hand: most species are too difficult to ID from pictures. One great (in?)direct consequence of this site is that people start collecting insects. And not solely use it to get their picture ID'd. I hope! :p
We (amateur and professional dipterists) all hope that a site like this stimulates the study of arthropods in general and diptera specificly, don't we? :)

I like the idea to do something with regions! This could be made better searchable. For instance, if Paul could create a region-field that MUST be filled in, in order to place new threads. Another obligatory field could be date of capture. Now we must ask too often things like this, because people forget.
