Hi! Will review this. Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 06:13, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for taking this on. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:23, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Lead

 * whose scientific name means "our European lion" Is it necessary to mention this in the lead?
 * Removed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:34, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * The "ferocious" nature of the larvae should be stated a bit more explicitly earlier in the lead. Is it do with predation by the larvae?
 * It now says "fiercely predatory". Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:34, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Description
✅ Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 13:41, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Abdomen and thorax are each linked twice.
 * Fixed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * apical veins enclose regular oblong spaces I think apical, oblong and veins need explanations or links.
 * Removed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:16, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * with the very long hypostigmatic cell (behind the fusion point of Sc and R1)  Difficult to understand. Can this be simpler?
 * Removed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:16, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Adult antlions are rarely seen by day, typically being active at dusk and after dark I think you should first state when they are active, followed by when they are not. Like "they are typically nocturnal, and rarely seen by the day".
 * Done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * unique structure known as a "pilula axillaris" Can we add something more on this?
 * Explained. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:16, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Link or explain "ventral", "process", "enzyme", "metabolic".
 * Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:16, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * "Oviposition" is explained under life-cycle but as it is first mentioned here the description should be shifted to this section. Same for "cocoon" and "pupal" (linked later as "pupate")
 * Done, if I have understood you correctly. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * First mention of "larva" in the main text should be linked.
 * Done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Distribution
✅ Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 09:47, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * There are about 2000 species "2,000" as in the lead
 * Done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:23, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Dune and scrub may be linked
 * Done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:23, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Life-cycle
✅ Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 09:46, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * members of the Myrmeleontidae family  We have not yet discussed the taxonomy in the main text. Should we say "...family, to which the antlions belong"?
 * Done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:32, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * "Abdomen is a duplink
 * Removed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:32, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * The section is named "Life-cycle" but in places you say "lifecycle".
 * Fixed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:32, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Link or explain posterior.
 * Said rear. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:32, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Don't link larva here, link it at first mention, under Description.
 * Done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:32, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Ecology
✅ Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 09:47, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * detritus in a hole What is that?
 * Linked to Wiktionary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * venom and enzymes,  waves detected by receptors Links?
 * Linked.


 * hind two thoracic segments You mean "two hind thoracic segments"?
 * Fixed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * the antlion larva starts to crawl backwards, using its abdomen as a plough to shovel up the soil. Place a citation at the end of this.
 * That account is cited to Coelho already. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * "ants" is linked twice.
 * Fixed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * "arthropods" is linked twice in this section, both links are duplicate
 * Fixed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 *  the tiny larva specializes in very small insects I think we were using British English?
 * Done. But we Brits often use -ize actually. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 *  Australian horsefly Scaptia muscula Write " Australian horsefly (Scaptia muscula)" Same for chalcid wasp.
 * Done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:40, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Rest
✅ Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 09:47, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The rest of the article looks good. Two suggestions:
 * Should Etymology not be the first section as is usual in articles?
 * Moved. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:25, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * What is a gallery doing under Etymology?
 * It isn't any more! Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:25, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

That should be all. Great job, both! Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 08:18, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, both of you have been so quick! I am pleased to promote this splendid article. Good luck! Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 15:42, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the efficient review, Sainsf. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:52, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
