Reason: Something you don't see everyday. I have only seen these large ants a couple of times, usually after a rainfall. A hard to take picture IMO and I got scrapped skin by lying on the ground to take the picture. Good quality, lighting and EV. Also, did quite well at commons

Support- Very funny, the little one is helping the one that is losing biting the other's ankle. All of this was happening next to Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Hermetia illucens Black soldier fly.jpg which was probably watching the fight. franklin 13:27, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: What is the little one? That a baby? Or just a passing small ant? J Milburn (talk) 12:49, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a different species ant. I don't why it's in the fight though. --Muhammad(talk) 12:54, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support, valuable, eye-catching and interesting image. The fact the little one is there does actually bother me a bit, as it could cause some confusion, but I am happy to support. J Milburn (talk) 10:45, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per nom. The ground/background is fortunate in that it provides a scale refernce to the image. Elekhh (talk) 21:10, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
