 * Support. Good detail on a moving subject in its natural surroundings. -- Tewy  22:33, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The second seems (is) cut off, so I prefer the first version as featured picture, although the detail is nice on the second. -- Tewy  07:08, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Support original - Wonderful eye detail. Very enc, obviously. Nice bokeh.  --TotoBaggins 23:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Support. Far more so than the Lantana flower pics, this one proves the worth of your camera Alves! Great clarity and composition. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 19:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Support original Great shot. We need the whole insect there, I think, so I'm not in favour of the second pic. Matt Deres 21:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Support  (original) Lovely view of the entire insect- adds a lot to the article. Purple Is Pretty 03:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Support original. It's perfectly in focus. We don't need more detail on the head. It's more important to have a view of the entire animal. - Mgm|(talk) 09:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Support original Nice and sharp. Great picture. --Pixelface 17:20, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. I think it's a great quality picture, but it's too busy for me to like it. The whole thing blends in, and I don't think we get the whole effect of the locust with all the twigs and grass, etc., cluttering up the picture. └ Jared ┘┌ t ┐&ensp; 15:21, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
