I will review this article. Starter comments:

• "P. mira is found all along the eastern seaboard of the United States and west to Texas, Nebraska, and Wisconsin, as well as in Canada". This sentence is not supported by the cited source, which does not mention Texas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, the eastern seaboard, nor Canada.
• "Pisaurina mira is usually seen in the woods and meadows, but it is most populated in the transitional areas between woods and fields. They inhabit tall grass, shrubs, and bushes, which gives them an advantage considering their hunting strategy, waiting for prey to come within their reach and using their pincers ("sit-and-wait ambush predator")." the information in these sentences is not supported by the cited source.
• "Nursery web spiders are found in Western and Southern Europe, as well as some regions in Canada, such as Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. While being the most common spiders in the eastern United States, they are found in Florida, west to Texas, and north to Kansas and Minnesota." Not supported by the source.
• "Accordingly, the highest population level for P. mira was in June as well.[3]" This is an incomplete representation of what the source says, as the monthly timing of the highest populations levels vary with location.
• I don't think Animal Diversity Web can be considered a reliable source, as the page in question was written by a student. All of the citations pointing to this page should be replaced.

I'll leave these comments for the nominator to work on. Esculenta (talk) 18:15, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

@Esculenta: Hi, I'm so sorry about the delay, I was out of town and was not able to work on the article. I have been trying to replace the UMich source with another source. Would I be able to start a new nomination and be reviewed again? I'm so sorry!
