Untitled
-based on the wikibots suggestion, the first four topics I think adequately summarize the basic biology of this organism. I would condense these into a nice easily digestible intro and this would help it not look so much like an outline.Drussey (talk) 01:21, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Picture?
I think maybe it will be better with a picture of the species. I have found some but I do not know if they are copyright free.--Wolfkouji (talk) 16:55, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
