Are both images of the same individual weevil?
From reading what you wrote, I assumed they are both of the same insect. If you have multiple images of the same insect, it helps to 'link' them. I have done that with these two images. Please let me know if they are not the same and I will unlink them.

Very nice pictures!

definately same fellow...I've no idea how to stick them all on the same page as when I pull them up? I didn't realize they weren't showing on same page as both images show that way when I look at them.....

How to link and other useful information...
If you scroll down The Help Page until you find this - "How can I submit multiple images of the same specimen?", it will explain how to link and unlink them. It is actually easier than not linking because each additional image you submit will already have the information on the form from the first image.

The reason yuo saw them both together was I happened to see the second image shortly after you submitted it and linked them.

Hope this helps :)
