  • Support Where do you find such interesting insects!?--Mbz1 (talk) 00:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Too little of the insect is in focus. To be blunt, it just isnt up to the standards of insect photos. EgraS (talk) 05:56, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak support A little focus stacking would have helped maybe (one antenna out of focus and one marginally in bothers me slightly). --Mike Spenard (talk) 06:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Support - high enc. value. Cacophony (talk) 00:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Support Nice was of getting warm food. And good focus on mandibles and bubble. Narayanese (talk) 00:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. Although DOF is a bit low (which is really hard to avoid) the focus is placed just right and composition and angle are perfect. --Dschwen 04:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
