• Comment – I am undecided, the nom image has very good EV, it shows an assassin bug with a prey. I would support the infobox image in article Rhynocoris iracundus, if it was cropped with a few more pixels to meet 1500px. It has more detail. Bammesk (talk) 01:08, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

• alternative uploaded Janke and Bammesk Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:31, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

• Support both, prefer Alt – but Alt definitely needs a re-crop to meet 1500px, and perhaps denoising of the bokeh... done. Bammesk (talk) 13:35, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
• Conditional support either, prefer original. First image should be cropped, the second needs a slightly wider crop to meet the resolution criteria. MER-C 13:41, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

• Crop of original would probably invalidate FP on Commons. New larger, denoised version of alt. uploaded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:00, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

• How about uploading the former as a separate file? MER-C 17:45, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

• Can we do that? Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:01, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

• I don't see any reason why you can't upload the crop with a different filename. We edit FPCs all the time. The only catch is that the Commons FP might replace the en.wp FP in the article some time in the future. MER-C 18:37, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

• I'd withdraw this if I knew how to! Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:00, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

• Support alt. MER-C 18:36, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
