Hi Jhonjairo, if you confirm Paul's identification, this observation will become research grade (see Data Quality Assessment to the right). Then it will be harvested by GBIF.org. GBIF data is often cited in scientific publications.

Jhon, you can just state: "Specimen was observed in the field by Paul Freed". Do you need to state anything else? If so, let me know exactly what you need.
