Thanks for cropping. With luck, others will be able to confirm or correct the species.

Please crop your pics...
...so the bug fills the frame, as requested on the submission form. Only you and the editors/experts have the ability to click on the photos and see the full size versions. Everyone else is stuck looking at a tiny bug in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

You can click on "edit" under each photo and simply upload a cropped version. It will replace the current image.

Thanks!
