Added several sections about the senita moth

Hi all, I've added quite a bit of information about the senita moth to this article for a class project. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia so please let me know if I should change anything! Cheers, Lilymalcolm (talk) 19:56, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I think you have a great start for your article and had some really interesting information. This moth's mutualism with the cactus is really cool and you did a good job of explaining its evolutionary and ecological relationship. I tried to find some pictures to add to your article but was unable to do so. My only edits were to add some hyperlinks and I fixed a few small grammatical errors. You could add information about the mating behavior of the moth if you are able to find it. Other than that good job! Srosefuqua (talk) 22:03, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

I added hyperlinks for technical biology terms and fixed a few grammatical errors. Overall, this is a great article. It is fluid, technical yet comprehensible, and well balanced. Photos would of course be nice, but we all know how hard it can be to get those. One place you could expound upon is the Survivorship-parasitism subsection. Explain what endoparasitic wasps specifically attack the senita moth and maybe the details of what endoparasitism is. Great article! Ecampell22 (talk) 19:24, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Questions following copy edits

I'd be curious why some place it in Crambidae and others place it in in Pyralidae.
Where it says "within five to six days", that's five to six days after hatching?
What's a "posterior brush"?
Where it says "may enter the flower for nectar collection", does that mean they also eat pollen?
Where it says "accounting for variation in surface area", does that mean that on a per square cm basis, they lay more on anthers and corolla, but overall, they lay more on the petals?
What's "corolla-induced mortality"? How does the corolla kill them?

Thanks and keep up the good work. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 04:01, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
