Greenbottle fly eating

Original - An Old World screw-worm fly Chrysomya albiceps, feeding on decaying matter. The Chrysomya, like other blow-flies are an important tool in Forensic science and Forensic entomology due to their ability to smell dead animal matter over a long distance.

Reason: A good quality image illustrating both the fly and and feeding. IMO aesthetically pleasing as well, for those who like bugs :)

~~Weak~~ Support. I like the quality - focus, lighting, DOF is pretty good. I like the action captured. The Green bottle fly article could do with some love though, but the biggest issue is no species ID which affects EV. Change to full support if you can get a full ID. --jjron (talk) 16:43, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Species identified. Muhammad(talk) 10:08, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Apparently its not a green bottle fly. I have made the required changes. Muhammad(talk) 11:45, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - D'oh. Have changed to full support, with the assumption ID is now correct. --jjron (talk) 11:06, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support per jjron. Hope no one is eating when they click on this. Fletcher (talk) 03:42, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Slightly too much dead space on the RHS for an encyclopedic shot. Also seems like the WB is a bit out? Seems a little warm to me but could be wrong. --Fir0002 04:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
