• Weak support It's nice, but the antennae are blurry, and I personally find the white sports on the leaf a bit distracting. Spencer^T♦C 22:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Alt 1. It's much better in focus here, though I have to admit, the background is a tad distracting. Spencer^T♦C 02:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose - "Blurry antennae". ^8thstar 01:10, 11 November 2008 (UTC) Alt1 is better... ^8thstar 00:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Alt1 for softer lighting, better focus. Background is interesting but not too distracting. Fletcher (talk) 14:29, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support either - top one is actually better for identification since it shows the tarsi more clearly. de Bivort 16:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Alt1 - Better composition, lighting, and focus. Kaldari (talk) 18:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
