- Weak support. Not the most exciting butterfly, but that is of course no reason to oppose. Instead, the "weak" comes from the fact it clearly wasn't flat when photographed, which means the wings are not shown precisely, and the tips are out of focus. J Milburn (talk) 13:05, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- All of the photos I have of this fellow (three different branches) exhibit the same pose, so I'm not sure I can do much. The wingspan is 25mm, which isn't so big for a butterfly. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:25, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
- Why is the top-left wing such a different colour? Is it a trick of the light or is it really more of a brown colour than green-blue? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 13:34, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
- Forgot to mention it, but the brown to green-blue areas are iridescent, changing colour with the angle of view. Noodle snacks (talk) 13:41, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

- Support: V good illustration of the iridescence. Unlike J Milburn, I think the butterfly is very pretty/interesting/exciting, :). I don't see a problem with the wings or that they're out of focus at the tips. Good environment, too. Maedin\talk 09:00, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- Re-reading this, it sounds like I don't see that the tips of the wings are out of focus. I do, I just don't think it's a problem. Maedin\talk 13:39, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
