As a courtesy to other site visitors...
...please crop your pic 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 image and see the full size version. Everyone else is stuck looking at a little bug in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

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

Thanks--and welcome to BugGuide!
