Evania appendigaster[edit]

Original - Evania appendigaster wasp commonly called Cockroach Egg Parasitoid Wasp. Pictured in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Reason
DOF, lighting and good EV. Black insects are usually much harder to photography correctly but IMO this one turned out quite good. The white setting is natural as I usually find them on walls.

  • Comment and question. Needs to be rotated. Is the abdomen on top of the wing or underneath? It's a bit hard to tell from the photo. Kaldari (talk) 23:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Abdomen on top of the wings. Why rotate? it was slanted in reality. --Muhammad(talk) 06:49, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think rotating to horizontal would improve the composition, although I suppose it's a matter of taste. Is it normal for the abdomen to be sitting on top of the wings? It seems rather strange, but I don't know much about the species. Kaldari (talk) 23:02, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Nice shot (i even like the tilt of the ground, makes for a more original composition). However, I've some trouble figuring out what are the black things on top of the wings ? Ksempac (talk) 11:32, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I am not sure what you are referring to but I think it may be the abdomen. --Muhammad(talk) 12:16, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • The anal and vannal veins (part of the wing structure)? ZooFari 23:38, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Tilt is ok. Nicely done, don't see any issues. Maedin\talk 17:17, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Tilt doesn't bother me either. Good isolation of the subject while keeping the environment natural. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 19:42, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support No problem with tilt. Dirty surface is a bit distracting. It's good quality, but not as good as some of your others have been. Makeemlighter (talk) 22:03, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
