Nominated by	Alvesgaspar (talk) on 2009-05-18 13:12 (UTC)
Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Lixus angustatus
Used in	Global usage
Reason	A more clear depiction than the FP, I believe -- Alvesgaspar (talk)
Review (criteria)	Comment Hmm... close call when compared to that FP. I would prefer categorization to species level. Why is there so much difference on the coloration of the critter between the two images? Maybe they ought to compete in an MVR. --Slaunger (talk) 21:44, 21 May 2009 (UTC) The difference in coloration is due to the amount of scales, I believe. The other guy must be younger than this one because it is still covered with them -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:51, 22 May 2009 (UTC)  Support I've been looking around on flickr and elsewhere for images of this exotic looking species, and I tend to agree with the nominator that this is the best candidate and it fulfills all criteria. --Slaunger (talk) 19:01, 22 May 2009 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted. --Slaunger (talk) 20:11, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
