This article has a lot of information about this order. Similar to the other pages, the introduction section is quite large, however because of the size of the article and the amount of Content included, I find this an acceptable size and not too superfluous. This page also does a good job going into specific details about the organism and it gives adequate background knowledge. This entry differs from the previous entries that were looked at by the fact that this article discusses social behavior. There are only two short paragraphs and the only behavior discussed is the mother’s decision process regarding giving birth or not. This article also has a further reading section which is beneficial because it gives readers to be linked to more information. Overall, I think this is an effective article because it has sufficient information and gives the reader the ability to further their reading and learning. --Jeremy.winkler (talk) 19:52, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Silk Production
Hi my name is Javier Waase I am currently a student at Radford University. I was assigned Embioptera as one of my projects for the semester. One of my assignments was to contribute on the wikipedia page for this order. I wanted to add some information about the dimorphism of the male and female when it comes to silk production. In some literature that I have found it states that males stop producing silk after their final moult. It also goes on to compare the storage of silk in their glands and their production of silk per body mass between males and females. I think this could be an interesting addition to the page.

Here is the name to the article I mentioned: Spinning behavior and morphology in the spinning glands in male and female in Aposthonia ceylonica (Enderlein, 1912) (Embiopteran: Oligotomidae).

Total number of families
This source with 45 citations provides 12 families for order Embioptera. --Hanberke (talk) 12:13, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The source you give has 12 families, two of which are extinct. I guess different authorities have different views, but we do need to make the article internally consistent. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:29, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * This study provides the following explanation (It seems the latest number is 11 families):


 * Family-group classification of Embioptera has changed considerably in the past 15 years as a result of several papers by Ross (2000, 2001, 2003a, b, 2006, 2007), Szumik (1996, 2004) and Szumik et al. (2008). The current family group classification was summarized recently by Miller (2009). Of 11 families currently recognized (Miller, 2009), five were retrieved as monophyletic in this analysis (including Australembiidae despite evidence from the likelihood analysis, see below); one family, Andesembiidae, was represented by a single terminal taxon and, thus, not tested for monophyly, and two families, Embonychidae and Paedembiidae, were not included. Each family is discussed below in relation to results from this analysis. --Hanberke (talk) 12:36, 5 September 2019 (UTC)


 * That study, Miller et al 2012, is the one cited in the Phylogeny section already. I'll update the number of families in the 'Diversity' section. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:02, 5 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the update. I'll update the family name in the taxobox accordingly. --Hanberke (talk) 05:04, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

In the lead, the number of species described might be updated as 464 according to the following sources: Order 2.2.2.3.2 Embioptera (464 species, including †7 species) (https://books.google.com/books?id=r3_DVd5DtGEC&lpg=PA101&ots=vcDHKJaBNU&dq=Foottit%20%26%20Adler%20(2009)&pg=PA101#v=onepage&q=Foottit%20&%20Adler%20(2009)&f=false) --Hanberke (talk) 05:42, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Insect Biodiversity: Science and Society, Robert, G. Foottit & Peter, H. Adler (Eds.). Wiley-Blackwell (2009)
 * I'm not sure where the 850 species came from and not all of the four references for the number of species are available to me. I have changed the figure to "over 400" as being a safer estimate, more in line with several sources. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:36, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
