I expanded the lead section past the first sentence, as well as added the Description, Distribution, Evolution and Taxonomy, Habitat, Home Range and Territoriality, Life History, Food Resources, Mating, Parental Care, Enemies, Interactions with Humans, and Control (12 sections). This required the addition of 14 new references to the page. ArndtH (talk) 04:56, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I went through and edited for grammar and phrasing. I also added a couple extra sentences and an extra citation (in the "Enemies" section, having to do with predators of larvae). This is a great article--I think the biggest thing it is missing is a picture. Great job! EllyGrant (talk) 19:55, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a great, comprehensive article! I edited a few sentences for grammar as well and linked a few more words to existing Wikipedia entries. I also added a picture of an Anopheles sp. larva to the "Life History" section, for some visuals. Expanding on the "Evolution and Taxonomy" section and adding more about the fly's behavior to the beginning overview section might improve the article even more, but overall, a nice entry!

Hi! Great Article! I mostly only changed header/sub-header organization and naming. One thing I suggest is that there is an image of the enemy of the fly which can be confusing and make a reader believe that this is an image of the actual fly if they do not pay close enough attention. Perhaps it is possible to find another picture of the actual fly itself. Also, maybe there is more information on the adult stage, perhaps including how long they live in this stage or how long it takes to mate once entering this stage.

Adding more photos to this article I think would be great! I also would like to see more information on their involvement with humans as a cause of malaria since that makes them an especially important species! Overall though, I like the amount of information spread across multiple topics! Montana.sievert (talk) 01:52, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great job with this article! I added a few links and edited some very minor grammar errors, but overall the prose of this article was really clear and unbiased. I added an image of algae because it is an important food source. My biggest suggestion is to find an image of the fly itself. There are currently some good images on bugguide.net, so if you look that up and try to contact the photo takers, they may be willing to post it to Wikipedia for you.
