Info The Monkey Puzzle, Rathinda amor is a small lycaenid or blue butterfly found in South Asia. The butterfly has a weak flight, it stays low and does not fly for long without alighting. Its method of alighting is interesting - as soon as it lands, it turns around and waggles its tail filaments, it also sidesteps for a while - all this is apparently to confuse a predator as to which side is the head. This is a likely reason that the first naturalists may have named the species the Monkey Puzzle. All by me. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 08:20, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the edit. Yes; the overexposed leaflet is a bit distracting. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 07:50, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The chosen alternative is: File:Monkey Puzzle Rathinda amor by kadavoor edit by böhringer.jpg

Comment So what about uploading the Böhringer edit over the original file? -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 15:53, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It may be problematic in the bureaucart's view, but I think no one will really have a specific problem with it. Tomer T (talk) 13:26, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I assume the early supporters will support the edit too; so more supports for the edit. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 07:10, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done I have selected the alternative to be promoted, it's clear to me Tomer T is right, we don't need too much bureaucracy, we are here to highlight our best content! If someone disagree, he can revert before the bot promote the picture. --PierreSelim (talk) 10:37, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
