Talk:Cardinal beetle

Pyrochroa serraticornis, which is very similar to P. coccinea except it has a red head instead of a black one, is also referred to as a Cardinal Beetle. See here for example: http://www.uksafari.com/cardinal.htm --TristramBrelstaff (talk) 18:11, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

This article contains information about 3 different species (Pyrochroa serraticornis, P. coccinea and Schizotus pectinicornis) that need to be separated. A species article is supposed to be about a single species. --ABesheva (talk) 00:14, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

This was great! I just had a few changes but they were mostly to keep the article organized. The sentence "This species is found to...nor in Scotland" in the Geographic range section is kind of confusing with the northern/southern mentions. I added some commas to clarify but maybe you can check over it and see if that's conveying the correct information. The Feeding sub-section has information that covers a variety of topics and could be split up and redistributed to other sections to make the article more clear. Overall, I re-arranged some sections but this was really well written and I don't have a ton of suggestions! Esacchetti (talk) 17:44, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Great job! This was a fun read and very well-researched. I just moved around some information to make sure the headings matched the information and to better organize the article in general. Under the 'Description' section, there was originally information about the feeding behavior and development. Since the description section should be about the physical traits of the beetle, I moved those parts into their own sections titled 'Feeding' and 'Development.' I also moved the section about the CTD secretions into a new section called 'Physiology' since it did not fit under behavior. I also moved the section called 'Mating' into the 'Reproduction' section because of its relevance and I renamed it to 'Mating preferences & oviposition' to make it more specific.

This article was beautifully written and organized, there was little I could change to improve it. It was also very informative without being dull, and the language used was very accessible and easy to follow. I made some minor changes with the heading titles, changing 'feeding' to 'feeding behavior and diet' as I felt it better encapsulated the contents of that category. I also changed development to life cycle as it read like a description of the life cycle rather than just development of certain traits or characteristics. To make it more in line with a life cycle category, I moved the part about aposematism to the adult characteristics description category as I felt it was displaced in what used to be the development category. Once again, well done, this one was a very enjoyable read! MidnightBarber (talk) 22:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Please note, as this is a British native species that does not occur in USA, it is 'behaviour', not 'behavior', per MOS:TIES - MPF (talk) 23:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I’m not sure the beetle speaks English at all, much less care about the spelling of behavior/iour lol but sure, you’re not wrong. (P.S. Canadians also spell it as behavior, it’s not a U.S. thing only) 128.252.229.157 (talk) 23:23, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I love this article, your beetle is so cute! I found a lot of good images of Cardinal beetles and larvae, so I added a few images to provide eye catching visuals for the reader. I also rearranged some of the sections to make the information flow more logically. Finally, I changed some of the headings to make them broader and deleted some subsections to make the information feel less chopped up. I think these organizational changes help the flow of your article. Overall, it was really well-written and interesting! Geluck.t (talk) 20:59, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
