Only with permission from the image's owner. You can find the owner either by the image or by checking at the bottom of the article. To request permission, contact the editor. In the future, it is hoped that images will be available under a Creative Commons licence, so you can use them privately, or if publically, then with a link back to the blog.

Images are great but they need to be prepared for publishing on the blog. If you are in a hurry or in doubt, send images as they are. Make sure you either own the image or have the owners permission Rename the image to describe the subject, e.g.: "Anacamptis_pyramidalis_at_Fontmell_Down_2022". Resize the image to no more than 1600 px wide or high Reformat the image to be "webp", or if you cannot do that, "jpg" with quality of at least 70% Refer to images by figure number if you need to and not by position (e.g. above/below) Please do not include images embedded within documents unless you just want to indicate where they should go and provide them separately.

Send these to the editor, who will review the article and send you back a revised copy if it needs to be edited. Once you have agreed the changes, the editor will publish the article and the images.
