... that male Ephemera vulgata (pictured) congregate in swarms in which each insect moves repeatedly up and down?

Created by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 09:52, 7 June 2015 (UTC).
This article was created within seven days of its nomination, its prose is the appropriate length, and the article meets core Wikipedia policies and guidelines. The hook meets DYK formatting guidelines, and its facts are verifiable and cited with inline citations in the article. A QPQ review has also been completed. The image is licensed CC0, so it is suitable for inclusion with the hook. Nicely done! -- West Virginian (talk) 11:25, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: I'm wondering why you don't use the term "nuptial dance" to make this hook more attention-getting? Yoninah (talk) 23:00, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
- Probably because the literature uses terms like "aggregation"and "swarm" while the term "nuptial dance" is used mostly in casual sources. We could have ALT1 or ALT2 I suppose. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:11, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- ALT1
... that male Ephemera vulgata (pictured) aggregate and perform a nuptial dance in which each insect moves repeatedly up and down? - ALT2
... that male Ephemera vulgata (pictured) group together and perform a nuptial dance?
- I was thinking of just adding it to the original hook, to explain what they're doing:
- ALT3: ... that male Ephemera vulgata (pictured) congregate in swarms in which each insect moves repeatedly up and down as part of a "nuptial dance"? Yoninah (talk) 09:51, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- If "nuptial dance" is directly from the (offline) source, we could put it in quotes.
- ALT3 is fine. I have added an extra reference to the article for the "nuptial dance" and struck the other hooks. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:30, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
