  • Maybe something related how its the first observed instance of this too? I don't know if it's the only one, but the scientific paper noted first known. Also sorry I'm not familiar with formatting here so feel free to move my comment where it needs to go Mk170101 (talk)
  • Review:
    • Article is new enough (expanded 5x on 24 March) and long enough (2,047 characters of prose).
    • Article is written in NPOV and contains sufficient inline citations. Earwig is 0.0% concerned.
    • Both hooks are formatted properly, are interesting, are neutral, and are of adequate length. However, I think they could be improved with more concise wording, such as:
      ALT2: ... that Dendroides canadensis larvae alternate between two different adaptive mechanisms to survive in subzero temperatures?
    • Hook facts are not cited here, but they do contain inline citations such as this one in the article.
    • QPQ is done.
    • Almost good to go. How do you feel about ALT2 or a similar modification to the hook wording? Armadillopteryx 22:56, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
