    • Done.

    • Done.
  • "is among the best known" to "is the best-known species"
    • Done.
  • Instead of just linking the numbers for mya, link the entire phrase (eg 100 million years ago) so it's clearer what then link is for.
    • Done.
  • "respiratory siphon" Link or gloss?
    • Glossed.
  • Link Sahel.
    • Linked.
  • "flies from the surface" Unclear what this is supposed to mean.
    • Edited.

    • Done.
  • "(Australia only) and (Neotropics)" to maybe "(restricted to Australia) and (restricted to Neotropics)"
    • Done.
  • "Bironella: confusa, gracilis, and hollandi" I've never seen a colon used that way, try parentheses instead.
    • Done.
  • "characteristics - wing" The hyphen should be some sort of dash. Also, isn't this just repeating what you said a paragraph ago?
    • Used an n-dash. Removed repeated statement.
  • The fact of the taxonomy being unsettled is not nearly controversial enough to require that many citations.

    • Glossed.

    • Split.
  • "spider takes a detour" Unclear where the detour is from i.e. where the spider would've gone without the detour.
    • Edited.
  • "Global Malaria Eradication Campaign" Might want to add a couple words explaining what this was.
    • Done.
  • "Control programs...it is detected" This isn't exactly an encyclopedic tone; it's more instructional and should be reworded.
    • Reworded.
  • references number refer to this version:
    • Ref 25 verifies all claims made.
    • ref 28 (Mosquito Parasite Fights Infectious Disease : Discovery News) has a broken link.
