Data
This is "immature" and that data bit should be filled out. I did it for you on this one, please take care of the others. Also remember to correct the location data on the others (this one is fixed now) as suggested.
Finally, this image is unnecessarily wide. If you cropped some from the sides the caterpillar would show a lot better. The same thing applies to the other images. Remember that only you and the editors can see the full size image.

the location box should say just 'Matthews' (not 'Matthews, NC, USA') -- pls edit per instructions provided in the submission form
