•  Oppose nice colours, good sharpness, but composition is a little bit boring --Simonizer (talk) 20:18, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Support WoW!--Lokionly (talk) 01:02, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I think it's a super catch. Details are a bit lost because of flat lighting, but I guess it's hard to get an action shot otherwise ? Benh (talk) 10:55, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Support - finally an interesting insect macro in the ocean of boring and same photos.--Avala (talk) 20:56, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
• Strong  Oppose Disgusting bugs. We've had something like 15 bugs as picture of the days last month.. they're becoming like sunsets... --Sailko (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Info -- None of them is a bug. One is a dipteran, the other an arachnid. Most themes are best appreciated when one has some minimum knowledge about them -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:52, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
    •  Info This does not make the subject prettier. I think it's not proper to link it in every wikipedia's main page without any disclaimer (in case). --Sailko (talk) 18:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
      • We dont generate a entertainment program here to anticipate the future POTD, so please be fair. There is a recent trend for documentary macro photography and a strong oppose for that reason is hardly overshot. Just my 5 cent. --Richard Bartz (talk) 23:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I'm not 100% satisfied with the technical part of the image, but I have to support to counter ignorance votes as above. Lycaon (talk) 22:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose I dont like the wedge-shaped gap in the background associated with a centrical composition as well the harsh flash-lighting with some twinkling OE's --Richard Bartz (talk) 23:23, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
