  • Granted, criteria checks out, except for the hook... How is it supposed to be interesting? Better hook please. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:36, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
I think it's interesting! How about - Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:18, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that although the majority of insects lay eggs, aphids can give birth to live young (pictured)?
