Please 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 you uploaded, the rest of us are restricted to this 560 pixel reduction which is less than 5% cat and 95% glove. Notice the difference between your 560 pixel image and the one we linked to in our comment. Thanks
