File:Jalmenus-evagoras-ventral.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Jalmenus-evagoras-ventral.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 16, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-09-16. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 17:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Imperial Hairstreak (Jalmenus evagoras) is a butterfly species native to Australia. Its wingspan is about 40 mm (1.6 in). The caterpillars feed on various Acacia species and are found in mutualistic relationships with ants of Iridomyrmex.Photo: Benjamint444

As part of a Behavioral Ecology class, I added information specifically on behavioral aspects of "Jalmenus evagoras." (talk) 14:13, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Minor Edits

I think you did a great job of making the article easy to understand while still providing lots of important information. I edited the lead a bit to keep the focus on the butterfly rather than the ants. I also added links to relevant pages and italicized scientific names. Also, I would check over the last sentence under "Range" because I think you should explain what you mean a bit more. (Engelde) 00:40, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I would also like to say this was fantastically written. Beyond a small area that I mentioned more about in my edit notes, the writing was clear and good (although the word "deme" could be fleshed out if you so choose to do so) and the information was clear and unbiased. Great work! Alexander Mahmoud (talk) 03:46, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I think this article is very well-written and interesting, and I was especially fascinated by this butterfly's relationship with the ants of its host plant. I think you have included a really good breadth of information in this article, but I would love to know if it has any interaction (mimicry, conflict, etc.) with other species of butterfly. Furthermore, you do include a discussion of larvae sociality, which led me to wonder if the adults of this species are social. Lauraem7 (talk) 11:20, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review

Hello, First of all, I think the article is neat and represents a good overview of the moth. However, I think that your Life cycle section can be lengthened and split into subsections such as "larval stage" or "adult". This would help with the organization of the section. Additionally, I certain other sections can be added such as a physiology section that talks abuout the cuticle used to protect the butterfly from ant bites or a section about post oviposition parental care. This would help make the article more complete. vkrishnan2 (talk) 20:46, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

I think this article was really interesting and you effectively described concepts that not everyone will be familiar with. To help facilitate this understanding I added a few links to other Wikipedia articles. I agree that you could describe what a "deme" is since that isn't entirely clear. Great job on your writing!

comment from peer: overall this is really interesting, thorough and well written. Perhaps you could write a sentence elaborating on what a deme is, I know you linked to its wiki page but a short definition would be handy there. In the life cycle category, consider fitting that text into subcategories 'in nature' and 'in lab'. Under the mate searching behavior category, it might be good to explain what protandry is, just a short definition.
