 * Oppose - Only partly shown, and not in natural condition (stained with eosine color). Besides, smaller than accepted minimum for FPC. --Janke | Talk 13:40, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean about the size, but the original file is 1,200 × 900 pixels. The worm is only partly shown because there may be 300 or more body segments; it is equivalent to a human portrait showing a head and shoulders. Staining is a normal microscopic technique.

 * I know all that. Still, I would like to see a photo showing the natural state. Also, to elucidate re. size: The FPC criteria (link also on top of this page) state, among other requirements: "Still images should be a minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height-" --Janke | Talk 20:41, 31 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose, based on size. If dying and a focus on the head are important for ID purposes, I'm not going to oppose on those grounds. I'd be open to an argument that the small size is forgivable given the small subject, but I think this falls below the bar expected for this sort of image; compare it to File:Lagis koreni (with and without tube).jpg and File:Nototropis falcatus.jpg, for example. However, it's a really striking image that we're lucky to have. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:00, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per others re size. Geoffroi  01:58, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
