• Hi simongraham. This is a more than 5x expansion, well-sourced and written (I've done some copyedits). The hook is, to the best of my ability to understand the source, cited. No QPQ needed. One minor tweak: while the hook is somewhat interesting, I can't help but think it would be more interesting if we said something like "although Pachyballus ornatus is named for its bright pattern ...", unless I'm wrong in thinking that's the case.

  • @Tenpop421: Thank you. That sounds ideal. It is indeed supported by the source so I have added that as ALT1. simongraham (talk) 05:38, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
