•  Info A re-nom of the improved version of this image. The original failed to gain enough support, but as this edit was not nominated separately last time it didn't get the full 10 days. See Commons:Featured picture candidates/Image:Cicada molting animated.gif.
•  Support, though it would be better if the pause were to be on the last image rather than the first --MichaelMaggs 07:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
  • The pause is on both ends now. -- carol 08:11, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Glad this was renominated, it was closed to early the first time and the final edits had not been seen by all. -- Slaunger 08:57, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Neutral Support Impressive --norro 09:43, 28 February 2008 (UTC) --norro 20:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Nice. Leaves me wanting more, but I still support it as is. Ben Aveling 10:32, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I like it. Much improved on the original. Illustrates well. --WikiWookie 10:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Support great work! --AngMoKio 12:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose - The pause at the end (the pic just before the last frame) should be much longer. I recoment 3000 ms -- Alvesgaspar 12:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Amazing!--Mbz1 13:37, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I agree, ideally we'd see the cicada's wings strengthen enough and watch it fly away. Still wonderful. Durova 16:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

1. It has improved, but why the shaking has not completely been eliminated is beyond me.

2. There is no proper identification yet.

I believe it's more-or-less impossible to accurately identify a newly-hatched Tibicen down to the species level, as many of the colouration details only appear after sufficient time has passed for everything to harden. It's Tibicen sp., I think that's enough. Adam Cuerden 07:33, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
