• ... that blue monkey beetles (pictured) both feed and mate in the dark centres of unscented flowers?

• Alt1 ... that blue monkey beetles (pictured) are endemic to South Africa?
• Alt2 ... that blue monkey beetles (pictured) have large, almost prehensile double claws on their hind legs?
• Reviewed: Neofibularia nolitangere, Haplosyllis spongicola
• Comment: Sorry, I just couldn't decide on a hook. Pick whatever is best! I reviewed two articles to make up for the extra work. ^^

• AGF on offline source, everything else checks out. I like original hook as it matches the picture. ALT2 also sounds good but there is no mention of prehensility anywhere in the text. I can also crop the picture if you want. Anyway, good to go.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 06:35, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review! I think I also prefer the original hook. As for cropping the picture, I've already cropped it a fair amount but think this is good because it keeps the flower in frame. Julia\^talk 07:13, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

• Ah, yep, cropping it further will make the flower unrecognizable, heh. -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 07:20, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
