•  Support Apparently this beetle is only around 15mm long on average, so given its small size I think the quality we have here is sufficient for FP. Cmao20 (talk) 18:18, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

@Cmao20: Actually, it is closer to 13mm long for adults, 15mm for larvae. --BoothSift 06:38, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

•  Support - I wish we had a better view of the head, but quite impressive, given its size. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:51, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Can I please ask Cmao20 🇪🅰〒ℂ🇭🅰- 💬 BoothSift George Chernilevsky Seven Pandas Llez Ikan Kekek to look again at this image. Not very much is in focus. The head is not visible. The yellow has been enhanced and 'painted' all round the bug and over its white hairs. You can see clear evidence of the editing where the yellow colour covers the animal. See note. Charles (talk) 08:14, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

• You are quite right, Charles, although the focus isn't terrible for me, I can definitely see what you mean about the yellow 'painting' around the edge of the bug. Switching to  Oppose until this is fixed. Cmao20 (talk) 11:16, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment You're talking nonsense about the colour. First, I never change colours and second, insects don't have real colours. They are generated by light reflections. And that just is very yellow on this yellow flower. The only evidence that I see here is that you want to kick off alleged competitors. --Hockei (talk) 12:21, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

• I am happy to take your word. Apologies. And I often vote positive for your images. There is no competition. Charles (talk) 13:07, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

• Still support -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 13:10, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

• Fair enough. I will take your assurance at face value, if it isn't a real issue but merely an artifact of light reflection then I am happy to reinstate my  Support. Cmao20 (talk) 13:40, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

•  Support I looked at that area where Charles suggested an editing and came to the conclusion that there is none. Hockei has been for a while here and cannot remember of any chapter like that. Quality could be higher but the composition and size of the bug is a plus for me Poco² 12:55, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
