Just seen this for the first time in my 35 years of life... Was like "Want to see something strange?", to the ppl beside me... Thought only humans knew how to waste time, smh. Then again- how else can the creature warm up the fluid? *************Amazing God************* — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ejw9 (talkcontribs) 14:45, 28 September 2013 (UTC) u[reply]

  • Support Where do you find such interesting insects!?--Mbz1 (talk) 00:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]

  • Support Nice was of getting warm food. And good focus on mandibles and bubble. Narayanese (talk) 00:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
