Basic info needed[edit]

This article contains nearly nothing except a discussion of the larva-defending traits (which are interesting, no doubt about it). There is none of the usual taxonomy, morphology, habitat, (non-defending) habits, etc. Indeed, it seems that this article was created simply to chat about one interesting characteristic of the species. If it is not expanded, I'd suggest renaming or deletion.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:18, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It probably contains a lot more information than most insect articles, which are often only a few lines. It contains information from a number of papers, but I just haven't gotten around to adding other information. The idea of deleting an article because it lacks certain information, while not deleting an article that has far less information, is quite ridiculous. One would have to expand stubs evenly in every area to avoid deletion! An article that only has information about one very specific behaviour is still better than nothing.

Incoming links[edit]

The only ones I can think of that aren't too forced don't exist: Gargaphia, parental care in insects and alarm pheromone. Might eventually get around to writing an article on one or two of these topics. Richard001 (talk) 06:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
