Join imgur.com, it's free! After you sign up and log in to the website you will see your user name at top right, or a green circle with the first letter (they just changed it). Hover your pointer over the username and a drop down menu will appear (seems you have to click it for the menu to appear now), then click on "images" and you will see a green "add images" button on the right, click that and upload your images there. Next click on the image you want to post here and you will see it on the left with a link menu on the right. Click "Copy" next to the link labelled "BBCode (message boards & forums)", then just paste the link in your post on the forum in the place you want the photo to appear. This way you can post as many photo links as you want inside a single forum post, and also it doesn't cost the forum owner anything in hosting fees (unlike if you upload a photo as an attachment).
Adam.

Here is Polygonia egea, a butterfly that has almost disappeared from France but is common in Greece, especially on Mount Pelion (near Volos) where this photo was made. In the south of France, the butterfly was still abundant in the sixties when I began to be interested in Lepidoptera. Before this trip to Greece, the last sample I met was Italian in the Carrara region (Tuscany, June 2013).  |

Here is a view of one of the many sites where Parnassius apollo rhodopensis flies in abundance. We are in Dasou Fraktou (Frakto), in the Rhodope Mountains, not far from the Bulgarian border.  |

Syntomis phegea: it is not a rare species. But what is surprising is that in the Rhodope Mountains one can see hundreds flying in the same place. More generally, the region is very rich in Lepidoptera (diversity and abundance) to the point that in places the butterflies are so numerous that one could think oneself in the foothills of the Andes !!!
