A Hornet holding a Bee torso.[edit]

Original
Cropped & slightly shaded
Reason
This is rather unique picture, is rather good quality, especially considering the fact that it's a macro shot.
Proposed caption
A Vespa crabro germana, or European hornet, is actually a type of wasp. This one is holding the remnants of its prey, the upper torso of a honeybee. Adult worker hornets feed the masticated prey flesh to the larvae.

  • Support The caption could use expansion, but the image itself is perfectly alright.--HereToHelp 01:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I expanded the caption slightly; I hope it's enough. NauticaShades 22:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support edit1 - I'm not sure that I that I like the composition much; it's bang on centre and the perspective is somewhat awkward. But I'll support nonetheless, its other qualities probably outweigh this. -- Chris B • talk • contribs 08:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Brilliant. (and I don't care much for composition "rules"). —Pengo 14:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support good picture, all in focus, composition doesn't matter --Childzy ¤ Talk 13:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm really not sure I could live with the centered composition, but maybe I'm just being fussy. I'd support edit1 although might be persuaded, should the consensus go with the original. mikaultalk 14:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
