unlinked
Hello Eric, I have unlinked the two photos b/c that feature should be used only when the photos are of the same individual--for example, you might have one photo of this moth with flash and another without,

or a series of photos showing the moth move so that the underwings are exposed,

or for when you've taken shots at various different angles to show specific features that can help with ID

or for a series showing an individual from caterpillar through to emergence... etc..
