- ... that Rhyothemis fuliginosa (pictured) is known as the "butterfly dragonfly" because of its butterfly-like flight and wide wings? "The name “butterfly dragonfly” refers both to the long, wide, colored wings (the hind wings are especially wide), but also to the fluttering way the insect flies."
- ALT1: ... that because of its wide wings and fluttering flight, Rhyothemis fuliginosa is known commonly as the "butterfly dragonfly"?
- ALT2: ... that Rhyothemis fuliginosa (pictured) is known as the "butterfly dragonfly"?

- Comment Hi there, Ornithoptera, welcome to DYK! I'm sure a reviewer will be along in a bit—in the meantime, I wanted to leave a quick (okay, it's not quick, i'm a tad wordy) comment about hooks. If you ever look through the archive of past DYK hooks, you'll notice that a lot of them don't tell the whole story, and that's on purpose. If you leave off a bit of information, make a bit of mystery, people will want to click on your article and learn more! And you've got quite the pretty picture there, too, which'll make people want to click more if the hook runs with the image. Also, for your first five nominations, you don't have to provide a reviewed article as a QPQ—although given that we've always got a backlog around here, it is helpful :) If you ever have any questions about DYK, or if you feel stuck, feel free to ping me or leave a message on my talk page—and there are lots of other editors around to help too! Hope you share more of the things you write! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 06:07, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your warm welcome theleekycauldron! I have a lot to learn but I definitely appreciate the feedback you've given so far, I'll be sure to reach out if I have any more questions! Thank you for the offer and I hope to contribute more to DYK! Ornithoptera (talk) 06:00, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Starting Review--Kevmin § 16:52, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
Article new enough and long enough. Article is neutral in tone, and does not seem to have any policy issues. Hook is cited and paywalled/non-English sources taken AGF. Alt2 is the most "hooky" but all are good. I note that the first paragraph of the etymology section needs citation Ornithoptera.--Kevmin § 23:19, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback Kevmin! In all honesty I was struggling to find a source on the first paragraph and was extrapolating based on what I knew prior regarding the etymology (Which is probably not the best approach). Thankfully I dug something out specifically laying out the etymology of the name Rhyothemis and threw it in there just now! Thank you again! Ornithoptera (talk) 06:00, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
