Info Tabanid fly (Haematopota pseudolusitanica) in a mountaneous area of Portugal. The females are voraceous blood-suckers, attacking large mammals, including men. Notice the scissor-like mouth parts, used to cut the skin and draw blood. Second try, after some image improvement (here). Everything by Alvesgaspar (talk)

Oppose It's only half the battle. I like the illumination, but I'am not pleased by the quality (dof, crispness, composition) compared to the very small image size.  Richard  [®] 
Neutral OK quality, but not fantastic quality. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 17:05, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Maybe I am spoiled, but I have to agree with Richard. The eyes have an intriguing coloration though - they look scary. --Slaunger (talk) 22:00, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course you are spoiled, especially by that newbie who voted after me! Instead of playing the role of bad guy he should come back and try to show how to do better. But maybe he can't do it any more ;-) -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:35, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think the legend has lost his touch :p --Muhammad (talk) 13:28, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - :-) have a little patience  Richard  [®]  15:37, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - What a shame, he seemed so talented when he was younger! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose blurry back end. Also, but not as a reason for the oppose vote, I would like a larger resolution.--Snaevar (talk) 19:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
