 * Weak support Wow, this is an excellent photo of a very interesting insect. However, it's right on the borderline of featured picture quality.  The blown highlight on the insect's face and the fact that the (abdomen?  man, I do need to learn my insect anatomy) is a little washed out and hard to see the details in are problematic.  It's beautiful, though, and it is by far the best image of this group of insects currently being used in the articles, so I'm going to support it.  - Enuja (talk) 18:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
