5x expansion OK, done recently enough, within policy. The hook is interesting and cited. QPQ done. Picture seems fine and is rather beautiful. Good to go. Yakikaki (talk) 15:26, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm concerned that "capsule" strongly implies a sealed vessel of some kind, and if I'm reading the article right that's not what's going on. I can't quite tell what the right wording would be, however. EEng (talk) 02:50, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Capsule is the word used in the main source. It is a sealed container until an agouti, or other rodent, gnaws its way in. Perhaps you would prefer ALT1?Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:09, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that the Brazil-nut poison frog (pictured) sometimes places its tadpoles in the water-filled capsules of the Brazil nut tree that originally held the nuts?

My concern is still that "capsules" sounds like something sealed. Aren't these the "water-filled empty nut cases" the article mentioned? Can't we say
