 * I am not going to be able to finish this GA review because I will be on vacation for about two months. I'll have to ask a second opinion. Apologies for the inconvenience. ‍ Rela  tivity ⚡️ 03:40, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Copyvios check
29.1% on Earwig's, and it doesn't have to do with anything really in the text. I'll hold off on clearing this criteria until I do the source spot check.

Source spot check

 * Jason A. Dunlop's source—
 * Christian Kropf and Theo Blick's source—
 * Wayne P. Maddison's 2015 source—
 * Jerzy Prószyński's 2017 source—
 * The World Spider Catalog Source—
 * Daniela C. Rößler, Massimo De Agrò, Elia Biundo, and Paul S. Shamble's source—
 * Konrad Wiśniewski's source—

Image check
This shouldn't take too long...

File:Evarcha michailovi female (cropped).jpg— Image looks good and is tagged appropriately. Unfortunately, it's not the actual Evarcha praeclara itself. I tried to find a picture of praeclara, but couldn't find one that wasn't under a non-free license.

Comments
Still working on adding more, but feel free to address these if you'd like...
 * Lead— examples found may may be a— "may may"?
 * Amended.
 * Lead— The African male spiders and Asian female spiders— wait, I'm confused. So, are these both from the same species? Do the African spiders live in Africa and do the Asian spiders live in Asia?
 * Good spot. I have reworded this so hopefully it is clearer.
 * Lead— The spider's copulatory organs are distinctive.— distinctive in what way?
 * Clarified.
 * Taxonomy— which had first circumscribed by— add "been" after "had"
 * Added.
 * Taxonomy— There are some duplicate links in this section, namely the links to species, Eugène Simon, and Jerzy Prószyński. I recommend using this tool to highlight duplicate links.
 * Thank you. Links removed.
 * Taxonomy— It is closely related to the genera Hyllus and Plexippus. and Analysis of protein-coding genes showed it— what is? The spider? The clade Saltafresia? There were many, many things before that sentence, and I'm not sure what it's referring to.
 * Moved to higher-up in the paragraph so it is clearer.
 * Description— is a small, light-coloured spider The spider's body is— Add a period after the first "spider"
 * Added.
 * Description— They have many long brown spines and greyish and brown hairs.— This line is confusing. I'm not sure if the spines are grey and brown or brown combined with grey or how "greyish" would even look like. Suggest rewording.
 * Rephrased.
 * Description— The third pair of legs is longest.— Third pair from the back, or the front?
 * Clarified.
 * Description— The African examples differ in their design.—...from what? The Asian examples?
 * Rephrased.
 * Description— I suggest moving the paragraphs that starts with The female is larger than the male and The female abdomen above the paragraph that starts with The African examples differ in their design so readers can read about the description of the male type of the spider and then immediately read about the female type afterwards.
 * Moved.
 * Description— of dense short white hairs.— switch "dense" and "short"
 * Switched.
 * Description— but all examples have tufts of dark hair— "all examples"— does that include just the female spiders or all of the spiders?
 * Reworded.
 * Behaviour and Habitat— While some other species live in the tree canopy,— other species of spiders, Evarcha, or just all species?
 * Clarified.
 * Behaviour and Habitat— tree litter— I'm not entirely sure what "tree litter" is. Could that be clarified?
 * Linked.
 * Behaviour and Habitat— one female was seen in willow tree litter— suggest linking willow
 * Linked.
 * Behaviour and Habitat— Evarcha spiders hunt by ambushing their prey— do we know what kind of prey?
 * Added.
 * Bibliography section— Wikilink Jerzy Prószyński in his 1984 source and un-wikilink him in his 2003 source
 * Moved. simongraham (talk) 08:15, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
