Inchman

Reason: Probably one of my least favourite insects (I manage to get bitten a few times per year), but I didn't know that they eat honeydew, seeds, fruit, fungi, gums, and nectar in addition to small insects until I saw this one then read about it in the relevant article.

Support Despite a depth of field a bit shallow for the subject, color contrast is excellent and it clearly demonstrates the insect's foraging behavior. Durova^Charge! 17:05, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Great capture. I'm always astounded by how good your macro work is considering you're using a non-specialist macro lens with extension tubes. FYI, the Myrmecia Forficata article is a bit messy, with someone deciding to paste the contents of a citation directly into the article below a 'citation needed' template.

Support Looks good to me. The flower is a very interesting background. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 18:54, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

support I like the detail, I do think the colour is slsghtly over staturated for the flower but its not an issue. Gnan garra 04:08, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
