Linkage
Nice catch, I like the color combination. (two different super-families) These must be referred to as "OP-ART" moths. Just kidding!
However, we need to un-link these images and then add thumbnail links, to keep them associated. Please let me know if you need help with that. WELCOME TO BUGGUIDE!!!!!!!!!
This image can be linked & moved with one of the others. You should make that decision, but we can add a thumbnail link into the text of the other.

Unlink?
By unlink do you mean put them as two separate pictures.

Yes
I un-linked them, because they will be moved to different locations in the guide. We can link one of them (directly) to this image and then add a thumbnail link to the other one, into the text. That is the recommended course of action.
Here are the other images: I will link the first one and you can tell me if that is good. Then we can put a thumbnail link into the text, for the last image.

Bizarre that they were hangin
Bizarre that they were hanging out together. I think they are two different species, but I'm not an expert. One looks like a Wood Leopard and one like a Giant Leopard, unless I'm missing something.
