Hi Leomk0403, review follows; article moved to mainspace 10 December; is of sufficient length and well written; sources used look to be reliable; I can't access all of the sources but Earwig shows no issue with overly close paraphrasing; hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and cited, AGF on offline source (though a Google search corroborates the facts); I altered ALT0 from "cement to suck blood" to "cement to help it to suck blood", as the cement is to attach it to the host and added "the tick" to ALT1 let me know if either of these is problematic; a QPQ has been started. Looks OK to me - Dumelow (talk) 09:21, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
thanks
