Flickr Users Discover New Species of Insect

A photographer in Malaysia who specializes in macro photography was hiking in a state park when he came across a lovely green lacewing. He posted the photos on the Web. When a scientist came across them, he realized it was an entirely new species. The discovery of Semachrysa jade, named by the two men, has been described as a triumph of citizen science, surging amid the advent of digital cameras, the internet and social media.
