Talk:Apocephalus paraponerae

3 November 2019 I would like to thank the primary author of this article for adding so much research and information on this species. Despite the limited information available on this fly, the author did a great job in providing as much context as possible. After extensive searches for additionally research papers that could be added and augment this page, I found this article:. Inter-Colony Aggression of Camponotus morosus Attractive to Phorid Flies. Using this article, I added the sentence in the “Host Finding” section: “These injuries species are the often the result of interspecies aggression and serve as ideal hosts for A. paraponerae to lay their egg on.” Additionally, I hyperlinked about 10 words throughout the article. There were also some sentences I rewrote to more clearly illustrate the information. Overall, this article does a great job in extracting information from the scientific papers.

5 November 2019 This article is well-done and includes a lot of interesting information on this fly’s parasitoid behavior. I made a few minor edits of the grammar and syntax to make some of the descriptions more clear. I added hyperlinks to some words I felt could use defining for inexperienced readers (parasitoid, oviposit, larva, insect morphology hyperlinked to descriptions of the larval morphology, rainforests, and Paraponera clavata. My biggest suggestion would be to add images, although I’m guessing from the lack of them that they have been hard to find. You could consider adding a few images of other things mentioned in the article just to break up the text a little more, but otherwise, this article is very nicely done!

Peer Edits
I thank the primary creator/editor of this article for contributing such a robust set of additional information to this fly species. I did a thorough sweep of the article for grammatical and logical errors and corrected them accordingly, prioritizing conciseness and neutral tone. I found that two subsections under "Description" belong under a more specific heading and created an "Anatomy" section for them. I suggest that "Male" and "Female" subsections be added for adult flies with even more life stage sections added. I suggest emailing researchers for their images in case you can't find anything online that qualifies for use in this article.
