Geckos and lizards? Geckos -are- lizards.
Can lizards shed regenerated tails? How many times can this be done? Drutt 14:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Homo sapiens regrowensis?:
There should be a paragraph on why humans and animals of higher class do not have this ability to grow back limbs and organs like the geckos. I know this difference is not yet entirely understood, but the topic is very interesting for the 21st century, e.g. stem cells, organ cloning, etc. Looks like artificial (metal-ceramic-plastic-cybernetic) replacement organs do not work well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.131.210.162 (talk) 09:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
Spider copulation
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&articleID=F3C4DB61E5087D3C0B6B7EF7209075F0

Bad sentence
The following sentence from the article is grammatically awkward, if not simply incorrect. I'm not sure how it should be changed to improve it while retaining its intended meaning:
- "No other stinging insect has the sting apparatus modified this way, including yellowjacket wasps, which also have barbed stings, but workers of all species of true honey bees (genus Apis)."
