Question - Are some of the legs really purple? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:33, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- Ikan the purple (and green) tints are due to longitudinal chromatic aberation where areas in front of the plane-of-focus are purple and those behind are green. It can be reduced by closing the aperture more (f/7.1 on a full frame camera is a middle sort of aperture) and is worst when the lens is wide-open. Some lenses are prone to it, even expensive ones, but it can be reduced with clever optical engineering. Once you've got it, though, it is very hard to remove in software, other than desaturating the offending colours. The other kind of CA, lateral CA, tends to appear at the corners of an image around high-contrast edges, and is easier to remove in software. -- Colin (talk) 18:20, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Not FP - DoF, blurring and background etc. Charles (talk) 00:13, 14 May 2019 (UTC)- Oppose Blurry, especially around the head and the wings. The legs appear to come in all sorts of color: green, yellow, black, purple, indigo. I doubt it's supposed to be like that. Lomata belzebul does not come up in a Google search either...--BoothSift 01:47, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- That's just a typo in the above text (very common here). Plenty of info about Lomatia belzebul though. --Cart (talk) 10:59, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose As per guys above. -- Jakub Fryš (talk) 04:41, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. The bar for insect FPs is high.--Peulle (talk) 06:50, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

This was formely FPX; I replaced with FPC-results-reviewed so the buggy FPCbot picks it up. – Lucas 08:32, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
