Behavioral Ecology Student Suggestions
Lilygreenberg (talk) 17:39, 29 November 2020 (UTC) One suggestion I have is to move the balloooning subheading to under the reproduction heading instead of under the heading locomotion, I think that it has more of a belonging under the reproduction section and also is a bit misleading in the locomotion section. Also it previously said that the spiders length was 23-3.5 mm long, I assumed this was meant to say 2.3-3.5 mm long, and corrected for this, however this should be verified through the source used to obtain this information.

SatvikR78 (talk) 11:05, 01 December 2020 (UTC): Great article! I particularly enjoyed the section on Enemies, because I have not seen this in many of the other Spider articles, and I found it particularly hard to find information for my spider's enemies and predators. I made a few edits. I moved a couple of sentences in your Description section to right under your "Social Behavior" heading. I felt like it worked a lot better as a lead in to social behavior rather than as a description of the spider's physical features. I edited your sentence starting with "Population founding.." so that it flowed better, and same with the sentence starting with "They specifically reside" in the habitat section. I think there was a typo in your "Diet" section, so I made the "spider" a sub-heading similar to "spiderling", and I think it now makes sense. I would suggest possible moving the "prey capture" subsection to a behavior or diet section, but definitely up to you what feels better. Please change back any of the edits if you don't like them!

Hi Amy! I enjoyed reading this article - very thorough and easy to read. I noticed that the article contained a template at the top that stated the article was not extensively linked. I see that several users have added links since the template was added and I added a series of blue links myself. I linked to some of the article's more specific terms as well as to the pages of the spiders whose scientific names you listed. It now seems properly linked so I went ahead and removed the template. Otherwise, I just made some small grammatical changes that I think will help with clarity. -Eanisman (talk) 04:03, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
