Image:Fly November 2007-10.jpg, featured

•  Info A small fly of the Anthomyiidae family (about 4mm body length) with a bubble of regurgitated fluid in its tongue. It is uncertain the reason for this behaviour which occurs with flies and also with wasps and bees. The prevailing theory asserts this is a way of heating up the food so that it can be better digested. For more info on the subject please see here. Because of the small size of subject to the 100mm macro lens was attached an extension ring and a 2 dpt close-up lens.

•  Support great image. Perhaps a crop would make it better? Muhammad Mahdi Karim 18:55, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

•  Support It looks almost like a space alien. Nice catch. -- Slaunger 22:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose I understand that this is very small and that most people consider that to be a mitigating factor, but it isn't that sharp, it has color noise, and I don't care for the uninspiring crop/composition. It has educational value, but lacks the wow that many other insect photos possess. -- Ram-Man 23:24, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose (Just !) Per Ram-Man, it still about the quality issue to me, because the subject and the moment is extraordinary to me. Benh 21:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

•  Support I like this one. --Tomascastelazo 03:27, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Photographic perfection/excellence should comes first. This picture is much 2 harsh lighted (unfortune use of flashlight) and not very sharp 4 my taste. Taken at high noon it looks like it's taken at midnight regarding the background. To point out what i mean with harsh lighted you should drop a eye on this or that to see the use of propper light and resulting plasticity --Richard Bartz 00:28, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
