You can't not support the picture on the grounds of the article being a stub (that is not in the Criteria, (as said above by Crisco).... Does the picture not contribute to the article unless its full length? Is the article not worthy of having a featured picture in it? Just because the article is a stub, that means the picture doesn't give it EV? Dusty777 (talk) 01:49, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If I wanted to be neener-neener legalistic, I could say that I had given an EV rationale "Not really supporting discussion of a detailed description." But really...I just feel I go more by the spirit of the law than by the letter. It just seems like we are not promoting what is most valuable. Anyhow, changed to comment so as not to make the vote off. And will not leave future comments. Let it go at that.TCO (Reviews needed) 02:01, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support per nom. Lighting is pretty harsh creating a lot of reflections off bug and harsh lighting on tree, but it's quite well controlled. 'Feels' a bit oversharpened (sadly exif has been stripped making it harder to evaluate). Back antenna unfortunately disappears behind that twig. Article needs development, but EV is there. --jjron (talk) 02:58, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support The picture is excellent, but it does need some tuning (per jjron). Dusty777 (talk) 01:49, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
