Sources are not reliable

[edit]

Most of the sources do not meet Wikipedia's standards as reliable sources, described in the article WP:RS. In particular, personal blogs, or forums and website like BugGuide that anyone can contribute to, are not considered reliable.

The article in Florida Entomologist is reliable, and NC State's "insectmuseum.org" website seems like a weaker but still reliable source. All other references should be removed as soon as possible, either replaced with reliable sources, or the content itself removed with the citation. I've found that amateur website like BugGuide often contain useful information that is not published in any reliable sources; unfortunately, that information must be removed from Wikipedia. Even attributing it to an open internet forum is unacceptable. There are a few exceptions, but they don't apply in this case. Agyle (talk) 11:19, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced most of the article, citing reliable sources and removing the non-reliable sources. I moved the subspecies section up, and split most of the sections into coverage of the two subspecies separately, since they have different distributions, habitats, and physical characteristics.

Male C. lutea lutea have longer wings than females not the other way around?

[edit]

In Description in the Cariblatta lutea subspecies lutea section it says "The tegmina of males are stinctly shorter than those of females, and the tips of the tegmina are rounded on females." Is it not the other way around and "The tegmina of females are distinctly shorter than those of males, ? And is that a typo the stinctly?

Would it be better to have something like this, too?
