• Support Nice and sharp. Just wishing that we'd have as good a picture of the dorsal side, which is more recognisable... --Janke | Talk 08:46, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

• Me too. As you know, they never perch wings open so you have to catch them in flight and, as my so-so image on the Wikipedia page shows, it's really difficult (best of 50 pictures I took over ten minutes!). Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:20, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
