@Cwmhiraeth:, excited to review this article about a sea spider, something I know very little about so I'm excited to learn more!

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]
