Excellent ! Much better
We decided a while back that we wouldn't keep plant images on the site. They get posted for ID work, but once the plant is ID'd, the ID goes on the bug pic and the plant pic is removed. You already have the plant identified so we don't need the plant image. We decided to leave plant images for another website.

 
Thanks for your help!
I want to be a helpful contributor to this fascinating effort.

Did you happen to get an image with more pixels?
Images kept in the guide tend to be cropped to a rectangle that is essentially 'just the bug', and are 500 to 1000 pixels in size. Thanks for posting and hope to see more of what you find, but wanted you to know that this image would not likely be kept in the guide because of its size.

 
Size, thanks I will try to edit it
I wanted to show the leaf it was on because this species has only one host species, which is plant it was shown on and aids in identification.
