Thank you, Adam! And please feel free to fact-check — my current employer is a microbiologist who specializes in this organism, and I had him vet the image before I put it up here for consideration. He said it looked very good. But the best independent verifiable resource for checking is probably the Wormatlas page on hermaphrodites. KDS4444Talk 04:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Part of the wow factor is that this shows how many offspring this self-fertilizing hermaphrodite species can produce as the eggs pass by the spermathecae and get fertilized. The drawing is pretty and unusual enough that it piques curiosity, and clear enough that it provides some answers. AndrewPapp (talk) 07:43, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Happy to accept this as accurate if it's been looked over by an expert. J Milburn (talk) 17:37, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Very useful diagram, one minor comment, the arrow for the gut lumen sort of has two possible features it could point to, could you shift it slightly to the left to remove any possibility of confusion?Terri G (talk) 10:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done and done. Better? KDS4444Talk 10:41, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Why, yes there was. I have removed it. Please let me know if you spot any other such typos or errors-- I want this to be as perfect as possible. Thank you! KDS4444Talk 12:20, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
