- Comment "Unidentified species" - unfortunately. Gorgeous image though, so leaning to support. --Janke | Talk 18:55, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support. Identification to the order level is a little weak, but I suppose distinctions grow over development. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8% of all FPs 15:51, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
