•  Info The largest and most impressive of the UK's damselflies. Depending on the light, it can appear to be blue or green. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charles (talk) 19:18, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

•  Support - For those who care greatly, I'll mention that the head is not as sharp as the wings. But this damselfly is beautiful indeed, and given that damselflies tend to be in constant motion, it's an impressive picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:07, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

* Comment File name needs to be changed. It should be factual and not contain any emotionally charged words such as "beautiful". But it would probably be best move the file after the nom is closed to avoid the same mess you had with a previous nom. --cart-Talk 01:27, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

• Cart: Hopefully, that's a joke, but you are a bit in advance. April 1st is only next week. Regards, Yann (talk) 04:31, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

•  Support great. Btw, Cart, please see en:Beautiful demoiselle --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:54, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

• Aha! I simply didn't know that was a part of the official name for this demoiselle. I've obviously spent too much time on WP correcting neutral POV. ;) Comment striked and of course I apologize to Charles. Thanks Martin for assuming good faith and telling me this (unlike Yann). --cart-Talk 09:07, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

• Cart: Don't take it badly. This insect is indeed beautiful, and the picture is also good, so the qualificative would be deserved, even if it wasn't the same of bug. I thought your comment was a bit harsh, and that you missed a smiley. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:21, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

• No problem, we all learn from this. --cart-Talk 09:26, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks to all. Many animals are happy with the names we've given them. Others, like the knob-billed duck, cut-throat finch, monotonous lark, lazy cisticola, are less happy! Charles (talk) 09:49, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
