... that our European antlions are living in East Anglia?

ALT1:... that there are antlions living in East Anglia?
Reviewed: Makrana marble
Comment: East Anglia is a term that covers Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire,and in case you think the hook uninteresting, I was most surprised to find that there were antlions living in the UK.

sufficient size expansion in time period, written neutrally, no copyvio detected, QPQ done, hook cited and faithful to source. (NB: FN 4 is dead). good to go. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:26, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I have removed the dead link. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:30, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

I don't think the hook is interesting enough to anyone unfamiliar with the distribution of antlions. How about expanding on it a little bit with with the proposed hook below? It is backed up by the same paragraph and source as the previous hooks. Jolly Ω Janner 03:13, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that antlions, which are found over most of the European continent, are extremely rare in Great Britain and only known to breed in two areas across East Anglia?

I don't object to ALT2, but to me as a UK resident, the presence of "exotic" antlions in Britain came as a great surprise. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:02, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

per Cas Liber, article is fine. ALT2 is supported by the cited BBC source. I prefer ALT1, short and quirky. Antlions? Anyway, good to go with the main hook and either ALT. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:16, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
