Xyloterinus
- ... that each Xyloterinus politus larva has its own individual cradle? Source: "Eggs were laid singly in cup-shaped cradles excavated by the female."
5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 10:16, 1 November 2019 (UTC).
Hi Cwmhiraeth, review follows: article 5x expanded from 26 October to 1 November; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to excellent sources; I noticed no overly close paraphrasing from the source material; I find the hook interesting; the hook is mentioned in teh article and confirmed by the Canadian Entomologist article. The only issue I can see is that I think you have linked the wrong nomination for your QPQ (it's actually one of mine)? - Dumelow (talk) 08:20, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: Thanks, I have rectified that. Before I nominate an article, I do a QPQ, in this case Syritta pipiens, and leave the article tab open. The confusion arose because, before I actually nominated Xyloterinus, I promoted your cyclist article to complete a prep set, and still had its tab open when I made my nomination, choosing the wrong tab for my QPQ declaration.
