Did you know nomination
This article is looking good. It could use more information on the life cycle of the beetle, as well as any predators or enemies the beetle may have. I'm also wondering if it engages in any mutualism with other species. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ardenpedraja (talk • contribs) 02:49, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I like how descriptive your introduction was. The sentences flowed very well and maintained a professional tone throughout. I also like how clearly you described how the beetles adapted to processing the natural toxins of dogsbane in a way that is digestible by the reader. It is super interesting that this beetle is able to store the toxin and weaponize it against its own predators. The imagery provided of the dogsbane beetles coupling definitely added to your article and provided context for the point you made about how quick the beetles are to reproduce. I thought you did a fantastic job on the entire article leaving me little to be critical of. Good job! Abdul-Jalil Dania
