Section headings

Just a note that on Wikipedia the standard way of writing section headings is in sentence case. That is, the first word is capitalized and subsequent words are not capitalized unless they include a proper noun. That's explained at MOS:HEADINGS in our Manual of Style. Also section headings should not generally be linked. Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 20:50, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Updates to the page

Hello Lepidoptera lovers! I made several additions to this page after looking at the literature that exists about the true armyworm. I added a section on Geographic range, food resources, life history, migration, enemies, mating, and physiology. A previous editor had had information about an outbreak that occurred in New York in 2012. I added that information under the "Pest of crop plants" section. I deleted information about an outbreak that occurred in Tennessee and other states because the source was a forum (not a reputable source). I summarized the sections in the overview. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arajan1 (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article provided a well-rounded and informative overview of the true armyworm moth. I made minor edits, which included spelling errors and adding wiki hyperlinks to other pages. I also deleted the "Regional Distribution" sub-header in "Migration" because there was only one paragraph within "Migration" which appeared to explain the overall topic well. I think this article may benefit from a "Taxonomy and Phylogeny" category to give readers a brief idea of other species that are similar to this species.

some suggestions

This article gave a good overview of this moth. However, I noticed that the descriptions were sometimes a little vague. For example, it's stated in the Interactions w Humans section that "While the infestation remained fairly localized, it had a significant impact on local agriculture and farming."- but the actual impact is not specified. This also occurs in the parasitoids section. Secondly, most notably in the food resources section- ideally long lists could be eliminated for the sake of readability. I rearranged the Lead section for flow (for the most part it better reflects the order that the article is written), and also rewrote your "female calling behavior" section to condense the wording. liu.emily (talk) 1:46, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review

I hyperlinked the appropriate countries and continents in the “Geographic Range” section. I agree that the food resources section could be rearranged so that it would be easier to read rather than a long list. I decided to rearrange the paragraph to make a bulleted list and also hyperlinked the appropriate Wikipedia article, and also included the scientific name when appropriate. sarahxyang (talk) 9:29, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Overall, good article! I have some suggestions to improve this page. I think you should add a “Habitat” section to discuss what kinds of environment this moth lives in. I also thought all the various female behavior sections under the main “Mating” section could be combined in a much more organized way because there seemed to be overlap and the current organization created some confusion for me. It may help to have a “Female behavior” heading under “Mating” and then have various information regarding calling, hormones, and mate choice as subsections under that. I like the gallery at the end, but it might also be helpful to add images of the egg, larvae, and pupae in the life history section as well if those are available. Good job so far!Y.shin (talk) 05:13, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
