Review
This is a good article to give you a primer on the characteristics of the great spruce bark beetle, it has plenty of information and is attentive on balancing strategies between conservation of the species will still controlling this pest from causing damage to humans. However, I think there was a lot of information that could've been condensed under a single category with sub-headings within it rather than having separate categories for highly intersecting information. This sometimes made the article hard to read as I first was lead to believe that the beetle didn't have any defining behavioral characteristics but the more I continued to read, the more I stumbled upon 'behavior' related headers. I ended up combining many of them together so they are easier to find and create a better flow of information for the article. I also changed up sentence structure to make it more accessible, and corrected any grammatical mistakes that I caught on to. MidnightBarber (talk) 03:49, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
