Support– ZZZ'S 14:19, 21 July 2024 (UTC)- Changing vote to Oppose per Janke --ZZZ'S 02:20, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose due to the very harsh shadows. (Light comes from different sides of male & female - why?) --Janke | Talk 17:44, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I presume because they aren't literally next to each other in reality. I do think it looks almost more like black - well the term's setae, but let's call it fur for ease of understanding - on their abdomen. Which is bad, but I think it's also forgivable. Support.

- Those dark areas are shadows, not black fur. This can cause a misconception if you're not familiar with the insect, so it lessens the EV. (You can also see the sharp shadows of the wing edges.) --Janke | Talk 07:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
