- Comment - I'm having trouble with the idea of supporting a picture with this amount of unsharpness in the frame, although a survey of other pictures of this
butterflymoth on Commons seems to show that it's very hard to get a clear picture of it. But I don't know if that's a sufficient reason to feature this photo. Could someone please help me understand why it would be appropriate for this to be more than a VI (and QI, since it is one)? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:16, 5 December 2016 (UTC) - Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:34, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
- Neutral Since these little moths are reported to flap their wings about 70 - 80 times each second, I think this is about as sharp as the wings can get in flight. But looking at some other pics of this moth, there can be more interesting angles (that face!) and better backgrounds. cart-Talk 11:29, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Great capture, but I'm not sure it's FP. Charles (talk) 12:42, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

- Strong Support. One of the best documentation of the typical behavior of Hummingbird hawk-moth which has the ability to fly from flowers to flowers for hours without taking any rest. It is very difficult to chase this subject. So we need wait near a flower with the camera ready expecting it will come. I remember a previous FP which barely passed; but performed very well in COM:POTY. Jee 03:57, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
