Alternative

Reason: Both are of good quality, DOF, and EV. Original is a focus stacking under natural conditions and natural lighting. Alternative is fill flash picture taken during a light rainfall, with a towel covering the camera and lens :) The only images of the caterpillar avaiable on wikipedia.

~~Comment~~Support More information for identification would make it a more useful picture. Species id would of course be nice, but merely listing location and habitat, plus if you saw it chew on a particular plant, would go a long way. Narayanese (talk) 18:53, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Species id is not possible and this was the best the experts could provide. It was resting on a Sugar apple leaf on which it also fed. Pictured in Dar es Salaam. This information has also been added to the image pages. --Muhammad(talk) 07:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Questions Were these taken at the same opportunity? Why is the caterpillar wet in the alternative? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 23:10, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Reason says it was during light rainfall. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:35, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- They were taken on different days. The second one on a rainy day hence the wetness. --Muhammad(talk) 03:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support both Although I suppose the original should take priority. I think the pic has sufficient EV for the articles it is in without better classification.Terri G (talk) 16:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
