- weak Support it's a detailed picture, but strange color casts in the background are unattractive Thisglad (talk) 16:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Let's not quibble over what is and isn't a strange colour, and just say that this completely meets the criteria. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 18:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Strong support - is that a horsetail? If so it's highly appropriate to go with a mayfly, both evolving early in their respective lineages. de Bivort 18:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- According to the image page, it's a field horsetail. Matt Deres (talk) 18:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

- This genus is endangered (not the species or the family) because of water pollution. The name of this list (Red List Endangered species) is maybe misleading --Richard Bartz (talk) 11:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

- Weak support It's a great photo, but part of it isn't in focus. crassic![talk] 02:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support very interesting and enc. — BRIAN0918 • 2008-04-11 16:24Z
- Support Some bits are a little out of focus, but completely forgivable given the magnification. You should have waited for her to fly away and snapped another pic for the horsetail page ;-) Matt Deres (talk) 18:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Nice. I like the background, although it makes the subject seem a tad dark. --Dschwen 20:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

- Support High quality, but oddly-coloured background doesn't help. SpencerT♦C 22:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Gorgeous and encyclopedic. I overlook the focus issues. Spikebrennan (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
