Talk:Papilio cresphontes

Hi, I'm adding to this page thoroughly for a class project. I added all my content but am having a lot of trouble with the format and now cannot go back in to edit what I wrote and add the proper citations. I will fix this in class on Tuesday. Crieber (talk) 19:30, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I really like how you improved this article! You added a lot of interesting information, particularly the information about the butterfly's coloration. I changed the wording of one sentence in that section to "The caterpillar mimics certain droppings based on its habitat and which instar it is" to make it clearer. I moved the description of the adult butterfly to the Life cycle section because I personally thought that the Life cycle section looked incomplete without information about the adult butterfly. Also, the images in that section include an adult butterfly, so I felt that it would make sense to have information about the adult in the Life cycle section. I added hyperlinks because I noticed the banner at the top suggesting the addition of more hyperlinks. I mostly connected this page to pages for its Geographic range (like Canada, Cuba, etc.), as you've already linked other relevant pages. Lastly, the Flight section lacks citations. Overall, I really like what you did to the page! Ericapryu (talk) 00:31, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

I liked reading all the material in this article. There is a lot of interesting info here, and i found it to be presented well. I didn't make any major changes, but I did make a lot of small changes. I fixed some spelling typos and grammatical issues, and I reworded a couple of sentences to make them easier to read. I also added a citation to the last section of the caterpillar subsection and added quite a few links. I noticed that there is no citation for the last part of the "pupation" section also, but i am not sure where this info came from so i did not add a source. Also, like the previous reviewer, i noticed that there are no citations in the flight sections and adding these would be really helpful! --Kaylaholthaus (talk) 01:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC) Thank you for pointing that out, I had to remove the flight section because it was there when I began editing and I could not find a citation.

 * It was a well-written article with a lot of information. The protective coloration section is very interesting. The pictures throughout its various life stages were good additions. Potentially finding some more information about mating could be useful because that section only has one sentence. I added some internal links to other Wikipedia pages. The overview could have a couple more sentences about some of the interesting aspects of the butterfly, like its parasites and protective coloring. Well done!

New Section
The text in the "Caterpillar" section should add the following: Mimicry is an additional defense mechanism. The caterpillar develops a false head with eyes that give it the appearance of a snake climbing a branch. Ref: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in134 I have photographs which I am willing to donate to wiki to illustrate the above point. http://www.wyllz.com/id680.htm or  http://www.wyllz.com/id686.htm

Also, I think a picture of the chrysalis would be helpful as it illustrates the attempt at camoflague. The chrysalis looks like a small branch of dead wood. http://www.wyllz.com/id690.htm

Any thoughts? My email wyllz at yahoo.com Wyllz (talk) 05:54, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
