Evaluate the drafted changes
After reading the work put together about Chloroperlidae, I learnt that there is a such thing as an incomplete metamorphosis. I also learnt what this entails for the Chloroperlidae within the draft which is a strong added detail. Another strength is that every single sentence appears to have a corresponding citation. Furthermore, the information presented is well written in a concise manner making it easy to follow. The way the information has been categorized is effective and as a reader, it is easy to jump to a specific area of interest.

I think an area to improve is the life cycle section. The first sentence, "The life cycle of Chloroperlidae is considered is considered an incomplete metamorphosis, as it does not contain a pupal stage. Instead, the insects have three life stages: egg, nymph, and adult[4]." can be incorporated into the paragraph that follows either as the topic sentence or the second sentence. There is also an error in the first sentence as "is considered" is written twice, (bolded above).

I think the structure of the article could be improved by adding an overview at the beginning of the article to introduce the species and definitely include the common name in this paragraph as well. Otherwise, so far the organization and structure of the sections make sense.

The tone of the article is neutral and professional. There was no bias detected as I was reading through.

Everything is cited and I believe the article has a good amount of quality sources. I would recommend a few more sources as there seems to be a reliance on two sources being cited heavily thought out the article.

I think the work is balanced. There can be sections added such as about the species behavior, conservation status/threats and a lead section, as previously mentioned.

A relevant perspective that should be included is the impacts of climate change such as stream temperature increases have on the species and the corresponding habitats. Since they are a food source for various fish and invertebrate species, it may be important to include the viewpoint on how population changes of Chloroperlidae may impact other species in the habitat.
