Reviewing...- Note that I am a new reviewer, and I reserve the right to completely mess this up. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- Expanded over fivefold in the last seven days, appropriate citations, no plagiarism. Article has just enough readable prose to qualify. Both hooks are cited at the end of the sentence with sources that support the hooks. Article qualifies.
- Both hooks are properly formatted and short enough. I think that ALT1 is more interesting, but the wording may be confusing. "first discovered in the United Kingdom in 2018" could also be read as the insect first being described and classified at that point.
- Image is suitable, has no copyright issues, and appears in the article.
- QPQ is done.
Everything is in order. ALT0 is ready to go, ALT1 (my preferred) is eligible but I recommend rewording. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:38, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
