It is better if you crop your images
to a rectangle that is essentially 'just the bug'. While you, as the contributor, can click on this image and see the full size 2000 pixel image that you uploaded, the rest of us are restricted to this 560 pixel reduction which is maybe 15% moth. That way the insect is visible even in the thumbnail.
