•  Info Late instar larva of Ourapteryx clara (subspecies formosana) from Taiwan. Larvae of this geometer moth common in Asian monsoon region has rarely been documented. Also, this is the first time a Sapindaceae species is recorded as the host plant of the species-rich genus Ourapteryx. All by Tiouraren -- Tiouraren (talk) 15:41, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose Perfect for VIC but too poor technical quality for FP or QI. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
  • I would love to know what it means. I thought the image is sharp enough and the larva is focused. -- Tiouraren (talk) 18:18, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
    • As a laboratory photo, it would surely been possible to arrange the lighting better? The background is unhelpful. I don't do lab shots, but I am surprised you would choose to use a flash. F18 give s good depth of field but affects quality; the definition is not so great for such a large caterpillar. Might a focus stack have been a solution?

•  Oppose I think I agree with Charles. It's amazing how much this caterpillar looks like a twig, so it's great to show it in the context of a plant, but the arrangement of the leaves in the background, including random-looking crops, is distracting and not a great composition, I find. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:26, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose The focus is very good but I do think the background is quite distracting Cmao20 (talk) 11:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Neutral Any chance to change the background to some dark color? ★ 14:59, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

• I would oppose an artificially-changed background. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose No wow, poor technical quality. --SHB2000 (talk) 09:21, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
