•  Oppose I think this is a great and amazing shot but I think DOF is to shallow (most of the subject is blurred) and I don't like it being on a jean. Benh 22:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  • jeans? i agree with you --Makro Freak 22:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Remember that we are not only looking for encyclopedic content here: we are not Wikipedia. For me, the gold thread in the fabric beautifully picks up the colour of the insect itself. It's wonderful and artistic shot. --MichaelMaggs 16:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose no proper ID, no FP (pity) -- Lycaon 23:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC) beast has been IDed Lycaon 22:36, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

  Episyrphus balteatus male is not a proper id? Or do you mean the jeans? ;) --norro 23:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

  Well, it's a female and it is surely not an Episyrphus ;D -- Lycaon 00:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

  How can i edit the file name ? --Makro Freak 00:59, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

  I would recommend to change only the image description for now and change the file name after this vote. You can do this by uploading a copy of this image with the proper filename and tagging this image here with template {{badname}}. I hope Lycaon is okay with this proceeding. --norro 08:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

  I have no problems with that procedure. Now we just have to identify the critter... Lycaon 12:46, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

•  Support. I'll support only when it is properly identified, otherwise it isn't useful enough to be a FP (ack Lycaon). -- Ram-Man 04:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

•  Support mind you, it's a female, males (mostly)have touching eyes in syrphids. -- Lycaon 22:36, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
