 * Symbol question.svg Article expansion new enough and long enough at ~1945 characters after expansion. The hook is sourced and follows the citation accurately. There are no identifiable policy issues. The description does not seem to match the source article, with the article indicating the thorax as green (straw to pale green) but the description stating the color as yellowish brown to pale green.-- Kev  min  § 23:55, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I have changed the word "yellowish-brown" to "straw" as you directed, but as these words are identical to what is used in the source, I am concerned about close paraphrasing. To my mind, straw is a yellowish-brown colour. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:49, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I typically worry about paraphrasing if it is a longer sentence. I understand where you are going with the straw, but the wording in the description does seem to use the light green meaning for "straw" rather then the golden brown.-- Kev  min  § 18:24, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Are you happy with it now then? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:55, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article expansion good, hook sourced and verified, article referenced and references are reliable. No policy issues identified in the prose.  Question area is not fixed to match source, this looks good to go.-- Kev  min  § 13:01, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
