Jumping spider with prey

Original - A camouflaged Menemerus sp Jumping spider with a captured male ant. Photographed in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Reason: Nominated some time ago, it did not get the minimum voted to pass probably because of a flood of nominations and because it was not sufficiently identified. Since then, its genus has been identified and it has been stable in all the articles for over a month now. Good quality and EV and also featured on wiki commons and the German wikipedia where users are more picky.

Weak Support "The wild 5cm ruler stalks its prey, silently. BAM! It strikes, using it's destinctive markings to lure another innocent photo to it's death. The ruler, perhaps out of the knowledge it's being watched, lets the prey go, but not before placing an ugly mark in the lower left corner of the photo."

- <sigh>There's no pleasing everybody. Without scale, PLW opposes with scale... </sigh> --Muhammad(talk) 10:50, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - For all it's worth I Support both the image and the scale ;) I always support scale for EV. But I understand your frustration since we never managed to agree on that question Ksempac (talk) 15:30, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - I have a hard time supporting images with scales in most cases. They typically detract far more than they add to the image. Kaldari (talk) 20:23, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
