Original – The Scolopendra gigantea, AKA the Peruvian giant yellow-leg centipede or the Amazonian giant centipede. It can grow up to 12 inches! (30 centimetres)

Reason: The picture is of good quality and depicts the centipede well. Although one of its sides appears to be shaking/in motion. I also went for this because I originally wanted to do Chandelure, but its picture is owned by Nintendo, of course, so I couldn't, so I decided to do something else, and I thought of doing the Scolopendra gigantea!

Strong oppose Image is of low resolution, low size, and low quality. Head suffers from motion blur, subject is partially cropped off, parts of the subject is too dark to see, parts of the animals are out of focus, and the detail is too low. (fails criteria #1, #2, and #3). There are better photos of this insect on the web. – _ZZ^Z 'S 04:57, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking closely I did notice that it was a little blurry. You are right about the motion blur at the head and the heavy shadows. I think I agree with you. Sometimes I don't understand things well and when I think I do, the picture ends up being out of focus.
