[edit]
Info A Marmelade Fly (Episyrphus balteatus) seeking pollen in a Bindweed flower (Convolvulus arvensis). This species of hoverfly is among the few flies capable of crushing pollen grains and feed on them. Created & nominated by Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:20, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Neutral wings and flower edges are blurry, but the bee itself is very sharp and well done --SuperJew (talk) 11:53, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Info - In macro shots the typical DOF is of the order of a few milimeters. Having both the hoverfly and the flower on focus is just not possible -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:11, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Oppose sorry, flower+insecta becoming too boring... --Sailko (talk) 16:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Comment -- Better not giving any explanation for opposing. Boredom is not a valid reason and invoking it is ungraceful -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 16:29, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- "Boring image" is exactly the same as "no wow". --Aqwis (talk) 20:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support Really Wow. Well we've got a lot of such pictures recently but they are of a quite fine quality. Why not support each one if each one of these is nice? --Aktron (talk) 19:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose weak oppose, but it's a pity the hoverfly is partially hidden by the flower... -- sanchezn (talk) 18:01, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support Very nice. Leo Johannes (talk) 20:35, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
