Hi, I looked over this article for Behavioral Ecology. Overall, I thought that it was very well-written, easy to follow, and interesting. I found the detail about caterpillars rolling leaves to be an interesting behavioral fact, and if there is more information available about why this behavior occurs I think that would be a useful addition to the article. I also thought that the discussion about its use as a biological control agent was informative and interesting. I added some internal links to other Wikipedia pages and made a few minor grammatical edits and phrasing changes in just a few spots that I thought could be clearer. Overall, it's a good article!

Overall, this article is well organized and informative. The lead section was good and described the moth’s geographic range and its use in biological control. However, this section lacked any citations, so I added several. I also added a sentence about leaf rolling to the lead section to make it more detailed. I think the best way to improve this page is to add more relevant sections including one about Mating and Migration. While I did a thorough search, it was difficult for me to find sources that I had immediate access to. Thanks!

Hello all,

The article covers a lot of information and is very helpful in allowing people to understand the moth. The citations are really well done and I think you combined information from your sources in productive ways. However, I think the life cycle section is very short. It seems as though you have between one and three sentences for each section. I think more description about what the moth looks like at each stage would be helpful. I also took out the section which talks about larval advantages and combined that section with the larvae section. I thought this made the article follow the wikipedia guidelines more closely. It also helps with the flow of the article. I do believe the article could use a "Mating" section since this is an important part of the moth's character. Additionally, the behavior section has only one subheading. I would be interested to see what other kinds of behavior are exhibited. I also made various edits throughout the article to help with grammatical mistakes and wording. vkrishnan2 20:07, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
