Both articles are new enough (one new, one 5x expansion), long enough, and well referenced. Both hooks are verified with reliable sources. Two QPQs are done. There is a close paraphrasing issue with the second article, however. The sentence "In an experimental effort to keep the winter moths in check, thousands of Cyzenis albicans were released in 2015 in 17 sites across New England, including sites in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Maine" is too close to the source "In an experimental effort to keep the winter moths in check, Elkinton’s team has released thousands of Cyzenis albicans flies in 17 sites across New England, including sites in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Maine." -Zanhe (talk) 00:59, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Zanhe: That's what happens when one expands a stub and fails to check whether the single existing sentence is a copyvio, leaving it in the expanded article's lead. It should be OK now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:01, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
