Everything Ok!
Hi Susan! Thank you for your concern. You are right, I've been really busy in real life. Several articles, an upcoming congress, travels... But everything is wonderful! I'm really in love with my job =) How about you, and project gastropods?--Daniel Cavallari (talk) 22:49, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to help assess Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods
Hi. I am inviting members of some WikiProjects to take part in evaluating their projects in order to help the Wikimedia Foundation better understand such projects from the inside, to encourage reflection on best practices, and to compile a list of best practices as recommended by a number of projects. I am contacting you because you are listed as an active member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods. Having witnessed that project's work in the past in my volunteer capacity, I'd very much like to include it. I hope that you will have time and interest in participating. As much or as little as you would like to supply would be gratefully received. The assessment questions are posted at Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods/Self-assessment. I will myself steer clear of the page until after any discussion seems to have become dormant, at which point I will ask questions to make sure that I am developing a good overview of opinions. Thanks.--Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 12:55, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Adamsia palliata
I was glad you changed the caption on the image I included in Adamsia palliata. The artist had not bothered to check on details at all. Quite apart from the Nautilus shell, the hermit crab is the wrong colour and morphology and the several sea anemones riding pickaback are nothing like the single specimen that is actually attached to the underside. Originally I planned to include the word "inaccurate" in the image caption but rejected the idea. If there was a photograph available it would be altogether preferable, and I only included this image on the (doubtful) grounds that any image is better than none.
What I would have been interested to discover but could not, was what happens when a large hermit crab moves into a different shell. Does the sea anemone disembark and settle on the new one or does it remain attached to the empty shell. What of the crab? How does it acquire another anemone if it left the first one behind? Or does the anemone build extra capacity into the shell so efficiently that the hermit crab never outgrows it? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:06, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

My photos
Hi there again, You can use my photos as long if you say some where that I Shadowshador took them and link them to my flickr. Also some of my photos may be of some help as with some spp only I have taken photos of some. I also do microscopic photo life, as I have seen on wik some info is there but not the photos.
Heres a link to some of my microscopic work. Kingdom: Chromalveolata http://www.flickr.com/photos/29287337@N02/collections/72157621761398979/

NOTE: P.S. from Invertzoo: A piece of robotic software signed your message for you with the proper full info. The software does not always catch everyone of these unsigned messages, so it is better to sign it using 4 of these "~", and then it would have come out looking like this:

taxon
Hi again That worms is also out of date. I think it's best to go by the 2009 up date as it's been this way for 2 years now and when they do the new up date I don't think that many new names will be done, For the new up date I think there Shell be new subfamilys, tribes and subtribes.

Wik
Also on wik I had seen an page about the Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola spatulatus) and all the info is ok but in the photo is an Chaco golden knee tarantula (Grammostola aureostriata) female and not a Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola spatulatus. I don't know how to put photos into Wik so if you could make a note on that page.
Heres the link to that page http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Chilean_rose_tarantula

Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola rosea)
Hi there about the Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola rosea). The photo i moved was an Chaco golden knee tarantula (Grammostola aureostriata) female and now the photo you have put in there is an Chilean beauty tarantula (Grammostola cala) female and still not an Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola rosea).
You need to get an Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola rosea) in there or people are going to get there ID wrong.

Thanks the Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola rosea) page is now ok as an Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola rosea) photo is now there.
Thanks
