 * Symbol voting keep.svg Length a little over the minimum and has been expanded 5x within the timeframe. Hooks are interesting & short; I prefer the original one. The alt hook checks out with an online reliable source; I'm AGF-ing the "opens at night" as the source is in Italian; it is confirmed by but I am not sure how reliable the source is. Article is neutral & adequately referenced. I noted no problems with close paraphrasing and Earwig found nothing. Image is attractive, works well at size, appears in article & is appropriately licensed. I've edited the caption to mention the species name. QPQ has been completed.
