The software didn't uderstand what you entered
for a date, so it defaulted. Please click on Edit and enter today's date. Is there any possibility he took an image with more pixels on a neutral background? Unfortunately I don't think we will keep an image with all that text as background. But certainly a beautiful insect! Thanks for sharing
