. New enough, long enough, QPQ provided, interesting and no copyvio issues. Hook in article and is followed by inline citation to a reference with hook fact. I tend to prefer the shorter hooks but both are ok, thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:47, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: do you have a cite for the common name? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 17:27, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Hmmm, although I did find this site, I am not really convinced that it is a common name rather than just a descriptive phrase, so I am substituting ALT0a and ALT1a. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:17, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0a ... that in 2018, the alien Asian freshwater leech Barbronia weberi was discovered in two widely separated locations in North Carolina?
- ALT1a: ... that the Asian freshwater leech Barbronia weberi has invaded North Carolina?
