Review (criteria)	Question What is the reason for the different colour of your specimens (grey) in comparison to other pictures (brown)? --Llez (talk) 18:24, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply] These are the real colors; These specimens were remarkably preserved away from light and high temperatures. Light and heat tend to "cook" all butterflies but is especially true for sphingids. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:07, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply] Support Thanks for the explanation --Llez (talk) 06:43, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply] `Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
