Review (criteria)	Support Useful & used. But difficult choice between the left and the middle photo.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 17:32, 14 August 2024 (UTC) @Agnes Monkelbaan: Thanks Thanks for your vote and for the comment. The first image is a female and the second a male recognizable by the "very developed thighs". --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:50, 14 August 2024 (UTC) Thanks for your explanation. I am a layman, but you would have noticed that.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 04:24, 15 August 2024 (UTC)  Comment In the past Archaeodontosaurus you have objected to 'double' scopes. Is there anything special about this combination of animal and plant? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:29, 15 August 2024 (UTC) @Charlesjsharp: I only recently learned that entomologists collect, for each species of insect, the plants on which they land. But botanists do too! So there is an important scientific link between the two (insects and plants) that I had neglected. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:15, 16 August 2024 (UTC)  Comment OK, thanks; that should lead to many more VIs. Very difficult to distinguish between a plant that an insect chooses for food as opposed to one where it has just come to rest.
