Just a note that on Wikipedia the standard way of writing section headings is in sentence case. That is, the first word is capitalized and subsequent words are not capitalized unless they include a proper noun. That's explained at MOS:HEADINGS in our Manual of Style.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  01:30, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I went in and edited some wording, did some sentence clarification, and added hyperlinks.

I thought your work here was overall well-written and organized in a way that was easy to follow. The changes I made were primarily fixing phrasing and some typos. I also added a few links and corrected some that were already existing if they were not on the first instance of that word. The main thing I want to point out is that certain sections do not have a source cited, such as geographic range and larval tents. I would recommend going back and finding the sources you used for that information and making sure you put those citations into every section of writing.

Hi! I really enjoyed reading about the moth and I thought you did a great job writing the article, especially the sections on social behavior and life history were detailed and well written. It was especially interesting to learn about how the larvae uses vibrations in silk to communicate! I went in and reworded a sentence in the larval tents paragraph but other then that there was nothing I could find to be fixed. Richywutang2018 (talk) 04:44, 6 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
