  • ... that the male sea spider Propallene longiceps carries his eggs in bracelet-like masses which he wraps round his legs?

  • @Cwmhiraeth:, excited to review this article about a sea spider, something I know very little about so I'm excited to learn more!
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: 2513 characters, no copyvios detected, qpq completed. The "bracelet" fact is super interesting I think and the drawing in the cited source of the "bracelets" is fascinating. My one question/quibble is in the hook you call the eggs "his eggs." Is that technically correct? Aren't they technically the females eggs? would removing "his" or changing "his" to "fertilized" be more correct? Found5dollar (talk) 23:30, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • ALT1 ... that the male sea spider Propallene longiceps carries the fertilized eggs in bracelet-like masses wrapped around his legs?
@Found5dollar: Thank you for the review. I was concerned about the "his" as well, and "fertilized" is a better option. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
