You can 'push' the photos into a different order; add or subtract to them - don't forget to click 'Save' at the bottom.

Device/browser? On my laptop/desktop there is 'Edit this spotting' just above your image near the top right.

Welcome Bkripto. Great series. As you may have realised there's no need to put an ID suggestion on your own spotting. Also the 'habitat' field is intended to be for 'this particular find' rather than 'general for species'. Looking forward to seeing your works!
