Peer Review
Overall, I changed a big portion of how the article was structured. I made it fit the Wikipedia guidelines that we were provided but the Social Behavior section fit together too much for me to try to cut out and replace the different parts in their correct sections, so I just left it as it was. Overall, there were a lot of weirdly worded sentences that I had to fix and also there were a lot of mentions of previous research, which I'm pretty sure Wikipedia prefers you leave out. I didn't want to take a big chunk away from the article so I left them in, but it might be helpful to rephrase them in the future so remove phrases like "a study found".

In this paper it seems fairly evident in the sections that the washu student worked in when compared to other sections. Categories like phylogeny, social behavior, and protective coloration and behavior have proper sub sections are contain very quality information in a very well written format. I think similar content and writing in the other key essential categories could be vital in making this a good article. However, I think this section was well written. There were very few grammatical errors, structural errors or anything or that sort. I made a few edits where I saw fit, but all were extremely minor. Like the other two articles I think images would be very, very beneficial, especially when talking about categories like Batesian mimicry and Mullerian mimicry. The visuals provide a layer of detail that words cannot meet. I also think there were many sentences in this article that seemed very obvious from a research paper or from the references listed, however they were not cited. I think another run through with the adding of citations would be needed. I think the structure of the article after the previous peer review now makes the order of the flow of the paper much better. I think there were a lot grammatical errors in the other sections and despite the initial peer review there were still some left. I tried to fix whatever I noticed. I also did notice the referencing of studies fairly often which if you notice from many other good articles that portion is typically not included. I also think the addition of sub sections in the other headings when more information is added will help organize the structure of the paper further Yarlagaddas (talk) 04:36, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
