... that the Indian wax scale was first described in 1798 by Fabricius, but was wrongly attributed to another author for nearly two hundred years? Source: "The authorship of this species was erroneously credited to Anderson (1790) for almost 200 years. However, the correct name is Ceroplastes ceriferus (Fabricius, 1798)."
Overall: New enough, long enough, neutral, and no copyvio probelms detcted. Hook cited inline, inline citations in each paragraph and quotes are not used. QPQ given. It would be nice if it could be expanded some, but it passses for DYK. Great work! Footlessmouse (talk) 07:51, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
