Behavior
This article describes that these beetles are able to launch themselves a couple times the length of their body but does not detail the mechanism behind this process or what the significance of this behavior is. Additional information should be added. Good that you included group behavior in the spring when large groups feeds on various plants within the same area of distribution. Could add information about whether there are any observed differences in feeding behavior between males and females Hipper2305 (talk) 18:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Peer Review
Overall this was a very cool article, providing the reader with pertinent information regarding the cobalt milkweed beetle. The edits I made involved some simple syntax changes. These changes are meant to standardize the tone across all sections, which were slightly varying in formalness. One thing I would add to this article is additional references. Otherwise, it was very intriguing to learn about such a rare bug.

Did you know nomination
I enjoyed the content of this. There was a lot of important points made about the beetle species. There was a lot of important and helpful information on the mating behaviors of these beetles. I found it very interesting that the male beetle will mount the female beetle and remain stationary for an extended period. I did add some changes. I included a section about the genetics of the beetle and there is genetic differentiation with the blue milkweed based on geographical region. The section also included diet differences between its sister species. Additionally, I added more information in the mating section. This section includes hybridizing between C. cobaltinus and C. auratus and the effects of doing so. The impacts of hybridizing affects each sister species differently, so including that section was important in my opinion. Connectscience0224 (talk 05:56, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
