Hi Anaya!
Sure!
The way to enlarge the images is as follows:
1.) Click on a record
2.) Once you open up the page with all the record information there will
be a little link which says seed macro 1 or 2 depending on how many
photos the person has uploaded.
Just click on the seed macro text and a full size image will appear with
a two tabs : you can click on either of these tabs to either add a
comment (for instance if you disagree with the taxonomic identification
or have ideas to help identify an unknown) you can also add this image
to your bookmarks and thus can find it easily again in the future!
Hope this helps and please don't hesitate to send any other questions.
Best,
Jade
