Peer review for behavioral ecology course[edit]
This article is very well written and has a lot of great information! My suggestion would be to add in a distribution image in the taxobox. I also edited the lead section for word choice and added hyperlinks. Additionally, I added a reference to the pest section (16) and some information in that section.

Great work on improving an article that was very sparse prior to your edits! I changed all the sections so that there aren't as many subheaders - although the page followed the outline we were provided, I find that all the headers can make the page appear visually confusing. I also reworded the first sentence in the Pheromones section, because I found it to be a bit confusing. I noticed that this butterfly is rated "High Importance"; however, it's not clear to me why it's so important. Is it because it is such an annoying pest? Is it because it's consumed as tea in China? I think more information about the butterfly's impact would boost this article and support the rating. My guess is that the moth's impact may have something to do with its role as a pest, so I added a bit more information to that section, plus another reference. Overall, great work!

Insect tea[edit]
I marked the existing link as dead (it leads to the main page of the site only). When trying to look for another source, those I found were mostly promotional (purported health benefits etc). It would be nice to find a neutral one on the topic. It seems that various insects are used in the production of some teas, sometimes to bite the leaves so they oxidize, at other times their droppings would be used... Although I personally appreciate dong ding and tieguanyin chinese teas, I'm less likely to experiment with those.
