 *  Weak oppose . Good choice of subject, but I worry about the many little reflections off the body, as well as the cut off hindleg. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 19:47, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I have uploaded a less cropped version which shows the hindlegs over the original version. The reflections are there because the bug's body is covered with small hairs. The reflections are unavoidable, and IMO encyclopedic, as they shows that the body is covered with hair. Without the reflections, the hairs would not have been seen. --Muhammad (talk) 04:46, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Since I don't know this animal very well, I'll give it the benefit of a doubt that the reflections are really unavoidable. Thanks for the new upload! Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 13:38, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
