Solid article, expansion fine, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and shows well. We were not able to have Clara Schumann pictured (as a mature woman, not the girlish young pianist) today, - should we see this bug? I wonder why we need two images in the article. Could you say anything more interesting than a list of common plants? Such as that they "hurt" the hosts by inserting toxic salive? "hosts" sounds so harmless. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:12, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks Gerda. The toxic saliva is common to other members of the family and the range of crop host species is surprisingly wide. I only add an image to a hook when it is a particularly good image whereas some people add an image to almost every hook they nominate! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:33, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
