Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Laothoe populi mating pair

 
Original - Mating pair of Laothoe populi moths showing both color varients
Reason
This picture is an excellent detailed picture of the Laothoe populi moth; showing an important event (mating) and is also highly visually striking and unique because it shows both common color varients of the moth. Good composition, with moths centered on frame and taking up an appropriate portion thereof; neutral high contrast background makes features easy to distinguish. Overall a great pic.
