Review
(criteria)

 Question Are you saying the scope is the Heath fritillary in Nordic countries? How is the location relevant? I would think this image is competing against all other "Melitaea athalia lachares (Heath fritillary) dorsal" images on Commons, no?--Peulle (talk) 13:55, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support What Charles means is that the quality of the determination is reinforced by its localization. That is a good argument. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 16:46, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Lachares is the sub species. This sub species only occurs in these four countries and my point was that I've checked the geolocation of all the other images (none of which are identified with any sub-species) and none were photographed in the four countries. Saves everyone a lot of time checking! Charles (talk) 19:38, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Question So an image of the insect in its natural habitat is worth more as a VI than - say - an image taken in a terrarium in New York?--Peulle (talk) 23:29, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely. For an animal or plant species, an image is more interesting if it has been taken in a natural habitat and if possible in its original habitat. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 07:21, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And it is very dangerous to assume any animal bred in captivity is a pure specimen of a particular sub-species. We should not be promoting 'zoo' images unless they are the only ones we have. Charles (talk) 10:34, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
