On the submission form:
Check all the following that apply to this image:
If you don't know for sure, don't check it. For example: for caterpillars check immature and for butterflies and moths check adult. If the photo shows mating behavior, check both male and female. Representative photos appear on info and browse pages (checked by default).

I checked the adult box for you but I do not always catch it.
