I agree with Dianne, see: https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/a06da3f8-2e29-44bb-a643-813d114a652d#gallery
I think we need a revision of this species on NatureMapr

Thanks Michael, That makes most of the IDs on the Theseus modestus page incorrect.

Michael, I created a new category and reassigned most of the incorrect IDs and replaced the species page images that have been misguiding users.
