Reason: I've been trying to capture one for a very long time but they're just so fast. I think this is well composed and camouflage colors are interesting to look at. Naturally there are some parts out of focus but it's impossible to avoid.

  - Support - Excellent shot of an ant. I've been trying to get some as well, but... well, they don't like holding still. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:40, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support If it had been climbing on a tape measure it would have been better, so we would have had some scale, but tape measure plants are so rare nowadays that it isn't really practical. Belle (talk) 11:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support, provided the ID is definitely correct. Stunning composition and lighting, but it's a shame that the species article is a little overillustrated. Do you have any idea of subspecies? Not super-important, but may be good. J Milburn (talk) 17:16, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
