I thought this article was well-written and included a lot of interesting details about this beetle. I made a few grammatical changes to make the article easier to read through. I also linked some biological terms that I thought might be helpful to most readers. In many parts of this article, there need to be more citations. For example, there is a paragraph in social behavior that has no citations.--Jaden.l17 (talk) 20:43, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If anything seems improperly cited please let me know, but if two paragraphs were from the same source material I just cited it all at the end. Some paragraphs and sections were all from one journal so I only cited it once. If you think each paragraph should be cited the nearest citation below can be replicated for it. Thank you!

This article was well-written, and I learned a lot about it. The social behavior and mating behavior of this beetle seem super interesting! I think all the information is clear, and the structure is well-organized. I made some minor changes to sentences in the Social Behavior and Mating sections, fixing some typos, adding some italicized species names, and making some sentences clearer. Otherwise, great work!

This article was an enjoyable read throughout. There were a lot of interesting factoids throughout that kept me entertained. All of the information was presented clearely and it's structure is well organized. The introduction mentions that a well-known characteristic of the beetle is mimicry, but the article doesn’t expand much beyond this. There is a small section where it does discuss it, specifically in the courting section but I think there can be more information about it, possibly a seperate section focusing on it. Other than that, great work! Bops22 (talk) 00:21, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
