Incorrect distribution map
The distribution map in this article, which is currently the thumbnail for TFA, is inaccurate. The immediate conclusion one draws form it is that this worm has a striking awareness of and respect for Australian political geography. In reality, the map is nothing more than a misleading graphical representation of the text "Queensland, NSW, Tasmania, and Boroko, Papua New Guinea."

The source of the map notes only that the worm is found in the Upper Burnett River region, not throughout yet limited to the borders of Queensland. The worm is noted as also occurring in NSW and Tasmania, but the lack of further specification is clearly the result of a lack of more detailed information.

The appropriate way to represent this sort of limited knowledge of geographic distribution is to describe it in the text. This is already done very well in the Distribution section. A map implies a far more detailed knowledge of its distribution that truly exists. And the map that is currently present is just silly-- not the sort of thing that belongs in an FA.
