 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, long enough, hook is sourced. No close paraphrasing or neutrality issues detected. Image issue can be resolved later and does not effect DYK. Good to go. KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:54, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Article mention of the hook: "... it is considered to be a beneficial insect because it feeds on many species of pest insects."
