The article was well-researched and included many specific details, such as the type of toxins used in digestion. My minor edits included formatting edits such as fixing the citation style to match the Wikipedia footnote format and matching the titles to only capitalize the first letter. I also made the list of parasites into a bullet-point list to make it easier to read. Larger edits included moving the "Caterpillar" and "Adult" section as subsections into the "Life cycle" category, and moving their subsequent feeding information into a new category titled "Food resources." One thing I was confused about was in the "Plants deterrents to herbivory" section. Are the effects of the fungus on the plant specific to the garden tiger moth or is the decline in larvae consumption a general trend seen in many larvae? I also think that the "Sound generation" could be expanded upon to include why adults making wing and squeaking sounds would be beneficial. As a smaller note, the "Geographic range" section appears to be missing a citation at the end of the paragraph. Overall, I thought the article was very informative and well-written.

Hello! This is a very well-written article - great job! I made a couple of edits to various sections of the article. I fixed some grammatical errors and changed sentence structure for proper order. I also added images of the larva and adults to help add more clarity and add images. I added links to various terms throughout the article. One thing I recommend is adding more details to some of the shorter sections in the article, if the information is available. For instance, I thought the section on Sound generation was very interesting and unique to this butterfly, and I would love to know more about why the butterfly does this and how it uses these sounds in nature. Overall, well done! Pranita.kaginele (talk) 03:42, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Review for Good Article Behavioral Ecology Peer Review
Hi, when looking over your article I noticed a couple things that I would want to change to elevate it to good article status. Firstly, the habitat section is pretty vague (yet has 4 separate sources)- I think the article could benefit from some extra details about the actual types of plants that they are able to eat. I realize you go into this a little bit in the caterpillar section but I think it would be beneficial to have additional details in the habitat section as well, perhaps noting differences across the different regions that this moth is distributed. Kind of going off of this, it would be beneficial to specify the host plants that you mention in the life cycle section (caterpillars and adults are both are dependent on their host plant to obtain compounds that deter predators.). Aside from these minor details, the article writing is generally clear and easy to read. liu.emily (talk) 22:33, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
