•  Info A potter bee (Anthidium florentimum), feeding on a Lantana camara flower. I hope that the "bug bar" has not raised too much since my last macro nominations! All by Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:28, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

•  Question Beautiful; but prefer the other version which is already a featured picture here. Do we feature different views of same subject? A newbie question. Jkadavoor (talk) 07:15, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Nowadays it seems to get a FP star with ease so why not servin old cold coffee? :-p Sincerly Bug Bar(tz)   • Richard • [®] • 08:38, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Lol ! Please don't provide "sacred cows answers" to "newbie questions" ;))--Jebulon (talk) 13:49, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

•  Support; assuming different views are acceptable here. -- Jkadavoor (talk) 08:52, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

•  Oppose There is File:Anthidium September 2007-3.jpg which is QI and VI already, and has even a higher resolution. It is the same shot, just with some different edit process. Actually a scaled-down dupe (=> normally sth. for speedy deletion)... So, I wonder why that scaled-down 2008-1 version should get featured?? Also, the other version was FPC already; better nominate it a second time. - A.Savin 10:41, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
  • It seems we need some explanations in this case, indeed...--Jebulon (talk) 13:49, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
    • Nothing was scaled down, only cropped. And no other version of this image was featured; the wider version was nominated a long time ago and failed -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:44, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

OK sorry, seems like the "2008" version is a some tighter crop of the "2007" one. However, I still find the tighter crop redundant, and believe that the QI/VI version much better qualifies for FP. (There was an unsuccessful candidature, but that's long ago and had few participation.) - A.Savin 15:41, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
