Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I was looking for articles that were interesting to me, however, after scrolling around, I found this article. I don't usually like bugs, so when I read "Insect collecting," I was intrigued about the people who like collecting bugs. Personally, I wouldn't do this, but it was interesting reading about how and why people collect bugs.

Evaluating content:

Overall, I think this has a pretty good amount of explanation about what is done when collecting bugs. Yet, one thing that stood out to me was why insects had to be killed after being collected. I think there should be more information about this since it could show a flaw to collecting insects.

Evaluating Tone:

The tone was well done, it was neutral. There weren't any spots that I noticed where they were being biased toward one side, they were just informing readers about what is done, what is involved, etc.

Evaluating Source:

For one of the sources, I'm not sure if it is too reliable since it asked for donations. It is also an article from 1977 so it might be a little outdated.

Checking the Talk Page:

The talk page had people trying to find more information for the article. They had good ideas about what could bring more information about collecting insects. One of them had an article made in 2023 where it talks about what they do to the insects after being collected.
