Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Vespa crabro germana with prey Richard Bartz Crop.jpg

A Hornet holding a Bee torso.

 * Reason:This is rather unique picture, is rather good quality, especially considering the fact that it's a macro shot.
 * Proposed caption:A Vespa crabro germana, or European hornet, is actually a type of wasp. This one is holding the remnants of its prey, the upper torso of a honeybee. Adult worker hornets feed the masticated prey flesh to the larvae.
 * Articles this image appears in:Hornet
 * Creator:Richard Bartz

 * Support The caption could use expansion, but the image itself is perfectly alright.--HereToHelp 01:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I expanded the caption slightly; I hope it's enough. Nautica Shad e  s  22:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 *  Weak support edit1 - I'm not sure that I that I like the composition much; it's bang on centre and the perspective is somewhat awkward. But I'll support nonetheless, its other qualities probably outweigh this. --  Chris B  •  talk  •  contribs  08:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Brilliant. (and I don't care much for composition "rules"). —Pengo 14:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support good picture, all in focus, composition doesn't matter --  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  13:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm really not sure I could live with the centered composition, but maybe I'm just being fussy. I'd support edit1 although might be persuaded, should the consensus go with the original. mikaultalk 14:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
