Thanks for cropping.

Please be sure to crop your pics...
...as close to "just the bug" as possible. Only you and the editors have the ability to "zoom in" and see the full-size image. Everyone else is left looking at a little ant in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

You can click on "edit" and simply upload a cropped version. It will replace the current pic.

Thanks--and welcome to BugGuide!

Noted
I thought zoom would be for all users, I find it kind of strange that it isn't the case. Nevertheless I'll make it a point to do some cropping when my schedule permits it, sorry if I'm somewhat slow.
