Quick question: is this one of the cases where the species could not be identified? MER-C 03:07, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While I've got your attention, same goes for Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Tachysphex specie.jpg and Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Graphium Caterpillar. MER-C 03:49, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In all the cases species could not be identified because not much research has been done about these species. Those who identified them to this level, even asked me to send them samples of the species so they could further their research. SO IMO this is as good as it gets, and EV is definitely there. --Muhammad(talk) 06:58, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK, fair enough. Returned to nomination list for further input. MER-C 08:10, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
