New enough, long enough, within policy. No apparent close-paraphrasing. Img is from Commons. QPQ done. One issue: @Cwmhiraeth: I love the hook, but which ref verifies it? Please ping me. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:02, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Rosiestep: The behaviour is referenced to #4 and #5. I could provide a reference for every individual sentence in the second paragraph of the Biology section, but that would look a bit silly. Which of the words in the hook do you have a problem with? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:59, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: I didn't suggest a ref for every individual sentence, nor did I say I had a problem with any of the words in the hook... I said I loved the hook. :) I was thinking that an inline citation after either of these sentences, (a) "The female catches spiders which are then buried in burrows where they provide food for its developing offspring." or (b) "The females capture spiders to provide their offspring with food." would be helpful. As I didn't find one, I asked about it here. It doesn't appear to me that ref4 or ref5 mention offspring feeding on the paralyzed spider, or am I just missing it? --Rosiestep (talk) 13:42, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- OK, I am with you now. I have added some extra information about the larva feeding on the spider, plus a suitable reference. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:47, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Since Rosiestep's talk page says she's busy through July 20, it might make sense to get a new reviewer in here to finish the review. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:15, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
