Pupae of the drones of the western honey bee

 * Reason:It's a beautifully instructive image. Wonderful detail, showing two stages of development of the pupa. Plus, by showing a stage not as photographed as the imago, it stands out from the crowd of insect pictures. This user has a lot of other wonderful photos worthy of nomination, by the way.

 * Support both as nominator &mdash; Adam Cuerden talk 06:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Picture 1 Seems to be more authentic, what with the larvae physically inside their cells. SingCal 13:46, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support nice, informative picture--Southern Texas 16:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support either - If you nominated these separately, I'd support them both. The top one is so pretty, and the bottom one is so enc and informative.  --TotoBaggins 17:42, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support picture 1 as is, but the photo could be lit better. Spikebrennan 18:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support 1 Superb. ~ Veledan • Talk 22:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support first pic - very nice indeed. Matt Deres 23:19, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support first. Debivort 00:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support 1, oppose 2. I agree with the other users' comments about image 1, but I oppose the second one because the background is inaccurate as far as depicting where these bees are while they develop.  A plain white (or other) background would have been better. Calliopejen1 10:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support 1, oppose 2. For many of the reasons Calliopejen1 said.  Zakolantern 18:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
