•  Support I thought it was computermade at first. The only thing that disturbs is that the mosquito isn't in it's natural environment. Moralist 14:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
•  Comment If you put the insect on white paper, use a good camera and maybe touch the file with photoshop/gimp/whatever afterwards to make the white paper really white ... you'll get probably something like this. I just wonder how to make the insect stay in one spot on the paper, if it is some species that can fly. I've read of one method that you put the insect in the fridge, let it cool down and after you put it out after some time, they won't move much for a while till they warm up again ... though I've never tried that --Leclerc 15:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

  The animal sat at my white-painted balcony balustrade for a few seconds. I never would harm an animal just to make a better photo. -- aka 15:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

  Of course, if you have luck for the insect to stay in one place for long enough to make a shot, you don't need to freeze or glue the poor creature --Leclerc 16:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

  Thank you for the technical data (Camera, Lens, Flash,…) , that helps me to better, do you are model for me : -) --Luc Viatour 04:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

•  Support If this is indeed a live animal, not stunned or anything, it's a matter of immense luck, but you also have to make the luck work and the result is stunning. DirkvdM 19:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
