Large additions for Behavioral ecology class
Hello, I am currently expanding this article. I have included several new sections including distribution, mating, life cycle, and others.

Peer Review
Overall, I thought the article was well-written and gave a lot of information about the E. saccharina species. I edited the page for spelling and grammar, added several Wikipedia hyperlinks, and fixed the formatting of the species name. I also changed all instances of "sugar cane" to "sugarcane" for consistency, because both ways were originally included. My main confusion stems from the objective of the page. While the article is called "Eldana" and the first sentence references that the genus, the rest of the article describes the only species that the genus contains, E. saccharina. To avoid confusion, it might be better to make a separate E. saccharina Wiki page and keep the "Eldana" page as a general description of the genus. Also, the "Description" section is a little repetitive from both the lead paragraph and the "Adult" section of "Life history," so it might be easier to read if the information from that section was integrated into "Life history." Aside from that, I thought the information was conveyed well. Catejiang (talk) 22:34, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Peer-Edit for Behavioral Ecology Class
I made several wording/phrasing edits throughout the article to help improve the format as well as flow of the entry. There are several sections of the article that might need another quick run through to check for needed citations. The ones I noticed in particular were in the Lead section and “Geographic range." I also edited the section headings to follow the sentence case that is stylistically required by Wikipedia. I think that another way to clarify the content being conveyed would be to specify if the preferences or behaviors described in the "Pests of crop plants" and "Hostplants"sections are caterpillars or if they are adults. It also could be interesting to focus on social behaviors that are demonstrated by this species, particular because they do appear to demonstrate strong grouping behaviors when mating. Nice job overall! J.Prakash2344 (talk) 18:09, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Behavioral Ecology Peer Edit
This article is very well written and informative. I had only a few suggestions. In the predators section, in the first section, I changed the word “morality” to “mortality,” and I also italicized Dorylus. Another suggestion that I have is to add in information about each instar larva into the Larva section. In the parasite section, the 4-6 instar larvae are mentioned, but no other information is given about the life cycle of the larva, so that could be useful to add. In addition, it could be beneficial to add in a section about the control of this organism, since it is a pest. You could add more about what research is being done to come up with pest control solutions, or what solutions are already available. I added in a paragraph about this and I cited one source that could provide some information about this.S.srivatsa
