*'''Weak support''' My first thought: is that black line the snout, or a wing in unfortunate angle? Should be mentioned in the caption. (If it's the snout, and the caption is corrected, then I'll strike the "weak" from my support.) Also, let's hope this image encourages someone to do something about the article it appears in - it's a one-line stub at the moment! This photo would also be appropriate in [[Bombyliidae]], a (slightly ;-) longer article... PS: This is one of the few pictures that look fuzzy in thumbnail, but get sharp in full size! --[[User:Janke|Janke]] | [[User talk:Janke|Talk]] 12:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Support'''. Janke, if you look at the alternative image (in the image description), you'll see that it's the proboscis. I'd change the caption, but I'm unsure whether the large size is characteristic of the genus, or just the one species.

*'''Support''' and '''Comment'''. I've gone ahead and expanded the article a bit. That proboscis is characteristic of the genus indeed. By the way, does anyone know how to make the little *show*\*hide* option ? I think that'd work well for that big species list in the bottom of the article. Cheers. --[[User:Mad Tinman|<b>Mad Tinman</b>]] [[User_talk:Mad_Tinman|<sub>T</sub>]] [[Special:Contributions/Mad_Tinman|<sub>C</sub>]] 13:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 13:39, 22 April 2008
- Reason
- very detailed picture where you can see the typical hairiness and the impressive sucker. This species lives in forrests close to warm clearings. Its very hard to do a picture of this species because they abscond at the tinies motion in their environment. Feel free to Google around, where you will find out that there are no pictures available in this quality and size.

- Support - One of the best insect pictures in Wikipedia. I confirm the extreme difficulty in taking a decent shot of this species. But Richard didn't explain yet how he got the critter asleep... -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
