Wiki edit for ecology class[edit]

Chri Ye (talk) 20:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC) I read through several articles and added multiple new sections to the page, including habitat, food resources, parental care, life history, enemies, protective color and behavior, mating, physiology, interaction with environment & humans and conservation. The physiology section discusses the mechanism for the elytra color change in detail. The original ecology & lifestyle section was deleted because the information was not organized well and was very general. I moved part of that section into “Life history of larvae”. Description section was rewritten and it included a more comprehensive view about the beetle’s behavior, such as they are nocturnal. All information was well referenced[reply]

Unless I am missing something, the article isn't eligible: it's being nominated here as moved to mainspace, but was created in 2005. It doesn't seem to have been expanded by 5x recently and isn't a GA. @Chri Ye: is there some other reason why this meets the DYK criteria? UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 19:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What this is is a roughly 2.7x expansion, which admittedly is very good but not quite what we're looking for. This would need another 8532 characters if I can add up.--Laun chba ller 08:55, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article was interesting. I enjoyed learning that the beetle resides in montane and tropical rainforests. I added a section on the importance this beetle has on human application. The beetle's elytra are incredibly strong and light, and humans have used it to develop real-world products that emulate its strengths. This is important because the beetle is an inspiration for innovation. Another edit I made to the article was moving the Taxonomy heading to the beginning of the article. I did this because I feel like it’s important for readers to learn about the beetle’s name at the start so they do not get confused later on. Connectscience0224 (talk) 21:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
