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 1800 pixel image that you uploaded, the rest of us are restricted to this 560 pixel reduction which is only about one third caterpillar and two thirds unhelpful black and grey space. You can click on Edit here and replace this image with the cropped image. Also you need to click on Edit and fix whatever you put in as a date. The software did not understand your date.
