 * Weak oppose The colors are a bit muddy (wrong angle of light). BTW, why are the antennae hidden, tucked under the head? Lessens enc, IMO. --Janke | Talk 16:53, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Support The reason to have this a Wikipedia FP is much stronger than that of the Commons: it is highly encyclopedic. This is a female butterfly with its wings open, made difficult because they are usually closed at rest.  Also, it is on its host plant, something many butterfly photos lack.  This is not a common shot and it is of high quality. -- RM 17:27, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Support excellent image, the fact that the host plant is part of the picture is just icing on the cake. --Leivick (talk) 20:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
