Molophilus image

Hi folks, glad to see an image from my lab getting use. But the caption is incorrect. Lack of true jointed legs would be the characteristic that mostly helps us characterize a larva as a dipteran. The terminal spiracles and lobes on this specimen help get us to family and genus. Dmccabe (talk)

jargon in the section on the head

Specifically the section on the head talking about bristles - there's no citations and it uses extensive jargon and also doesn't really say much besides specifying that variety of bristles exist. Might be more relevant to the Chaetotaxy page, which is a stub currently.

The lack of citations in the paragraph also means I can't read the source to figure out how to word the paragraph in a less technical way because I don't understand what it's trying to say myself. For example: "Bristles on the head are: frontal bristles, sometimes named lower orbital bristles are located on the frontal plates of the frons resembling a small alley extending from the base of the antennae toward the vertex and edging the median frontal stripe laterally. " Maybe it's the way the sentence is structured but I have no idea what it's trying to say.

Would anyone at Wikipedia:WikiProject Diptera be willing to help rewrite this article?
