Talk:Mole cricket

Lead image
[moved from user page] Don't really like the 4 rather similar insects as the lead image - would rather have one large beast, say the 4th one. What d'you think? Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:45, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I prefer the first image with its sideways view and spade-like forelegs. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:51, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * @User:Alborzagros: Sorry, hadn't spotted your involvement. I've changed to a single strong image of a mole cricket as I believe it gives a clearer picture of the nature of this (in truth very homogeneous) group. The multiple images of what are really very similar insects do not seem to me to help the reader; rather, given the very small screens many people are now using, it gives a weaker idea of what the insects may be like, the details almost invisibly small. (In fact, even on a large desktop screen, with the taxobox limiting the image size, things are not much better.) As this is the lead image, whose job it is to give an instant impression, I'd suggest that's not ideal. I respect the work done on the image and caption, but think we're much better off with a readable image. Do hope this is ok with you, this wasn't a random change.

Title of page
I object to the title that now exists because it should be plural - "Mole Crickets" because there are more than 100 species of them. 209.251.131.167 (talk) 22:01, 15 October 2015 (UTC)SL

Distribution map
These are very common in Thailand as well - very commonly eaten as food daily there. Map needs updating. Sorry I'm not tech-able and hope someone can update. Nosirromjretep (talk) 09:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
