Nice work! Do you have any alternatives which illuminate the mating process a little more? --Dschwen 21:09, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Either is fine and gets a support from me. I'd have loved to see the egg packet exchange or whatever they are doing there. The shot is fine for the species but does not show mating, its cuddling at best. --Dschwen 08:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
support nice to see an insect shot were there doing something. Chris H 22:38, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support, I love insect porn. Either version is ok, first is prettier, second is more enc. Stevage 06:49, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- How does the second one have more enc? It is exactly the same angle, just rotated around the optical axis. --Dschwen 08:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - We could always use both, but I'm not sure that gives the effect we're looking for. :) --TotoBaggins 11:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support original. The background green gives a better color composition. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support original. Not much to object to here, though it's a shame the face of the bottom bug is partially hidden in the flowers. --jjron 14:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support original Use both? Me likely! jkjkjk Encyclopedic and unique. The original green background is a better contrast than the white background. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 20:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support original The "Use both?" one is a little... suggestive. Great picture anyway. BeefRendang 09:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support original but I'd looooooooooooove to see the animated one on the main page, just for hilarity's sake. Amphy 04:52, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I would find it amusing if the animated one were to appear on April 1 - after all, it is a day of fun is it not? Booksworm Talk to me! 11:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
