•  Support - I don't love the overall composition, but the picture of the butterfly itself is magnificent! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:53, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

• It's a moth. There are some moths (and their caterpillars too) more beautiful than butterflies. That may be why this beauty is called "Drury's Jewel". :) Jee 04:48, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

• Poor assumption on my part. I've seen some pretty moths in real life, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:13, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

•  Support I like the large leaf behind the butterfly moth as its curvature echoes the butterfly wings. Daniel Case (talk) 05:12, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

OK, so I have to be biologically correct and call it a moth. Daniel Case (talk) 05:15, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Beautiful and sharp moth. The benefit of arriving late is that you can pretend you knew what critter this was (otherwise I would also have called it a butterfly). Is there some "How to tell a moth from a butterfly for dummies" that you can share with us? --cart-Talk 08:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

• Sure. The first thing you notice on a moth is a "comb-like or feathery antennae". :) Jee 08:55, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

• Ah! The Old Faithful WP delivers. Thanks! :) --cart-Talk 09:06, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment Nice image I want to support, but I don't like the crop. Too much leaf for me. Charles (talk) 15:17, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment I find the crop very harmonious and balanced, it gives the moth some clear and uncluttered space. It's a composition, not an examination under a microscope, but it's all a matter of taste. cart-Talk 15:43, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Great detail from top to bottom. -- Colin (talk) 20:54, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Support And I personally like the crop as it is -- Thennicke (talk) 23:47, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
