My wife took this photo, she has an uncanny ability to get the best captures of critters. You can zoom in on the pic, the detail is terrific.

...only you and the editors can zoom in. Everyone else can see only the smaller version (a little bit of spider and a whole lot of background). That's why it's important to crop your submissions as close to "just the bug" as possible.

Oh, I'm sorry. I am disappointed though, the pic really is great. I'll re-submit a new one, extra-cropped. Thanks for the info.

If you have a cropped version...
...just click on "edit" and upload it. It will replace the current pic.
