Option 1

 * Article title: Armadillidiidae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillidiidae)
 * Article Evaluation: This article has a great deal of information on what type of insect it is and what type of family the Armadillidiidae are a part of. I believe the content is pretty relevant to todays date. I do believe that there could be more information about the insect. There is also a section within the article that is not cited, which is about the different regions they can be found and other insects similar. The overall tone of the article is educational. The overall article can have more information added to it about the insect and the different regions its found and why, also adding the popularity of the Armadillidiidae among people.Phbrock98 (talk) 03:08, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Option 2

 * Article title:Monarch Butterfly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_butterfly)
 * Article Evaluation:This article talks about the Monarch Butterfly and what family it belongs to. This article also talks about what the Monarch Butterfly looks like and the life cycle of it. This article hits a lot on the topic of life cycle and goes through each stage of the life cycle. It is very educational and has lots of information. I believe this article does well on explaining all aspects of a Monarch Butterfly, for example it goes in depth with information with threats that can happen with a monarch and goes over information about the food that monarchs eat. The source I included has similar information that has been explained on this Wikipedia article. Phbrock98 (talk) 03:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Article Evaluation: This article has a decent amount of information around the topic at hand. The tone of the article is educational. The article is very interesting and informational around Latrodectus (Black Widows). The article has a good amount of references and cited sources. I think that this article could benefit with information surrounding what threats can Latrodectus have on us and also what threats we have on Latrodectus. I do think its very interesting that this article talks about the venom that Latrodectus has. The source I included talks about the threat that Latrodectus have on us.
