New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. Hook cited to RS. GTG. ALT1 might be a little more hooky:
- ALT1 ... that the parasitoid wasp Gonatopus clavipes lays its eggs inside the bodies of 31 different species of leafhopper? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 13:53, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
- I would be happy with ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:52, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
I am concerned that some of the phrasing in this article is too close to that of FN2. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:43, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
- I'm surprised you should say that because I consider it quite a good example of paraphrasing a source without close paraphrasing it. Be that as it may, you are the expert on these matters so I have made a few changes to the wording, including removing the words "drumming", "chunks" and "voracious" which were in the original source. Is that better? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:21, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
- Could still be improved, but good enough. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:20, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
