Change the word "expect" to "except". Glen Di Persio (talk) 23:27, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
"In Culture" section
editI noticed that the "In Culture" section only references one book, which I couldn't find the text of online. I know that usually it's best practice to add accessible sources if possible, so I went looking for "Himmelska nycla," which the article claims is a Swedish name for them, and the only pages that had that phrase were clearly taken straight from this article. Not even anything in Swedish. The other claims would be more difficult to look into since they're not very specific search terms, at least with my ability. What can we do next to help reinforce or check that section? FroggyLee (talk) 23:34, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- Worth checking carefully. I removed the "Indra's cowherd" statement - the original Sanskrit word "Indragopa" is generally thought to refer to the red velvet mite. Shyamal (talk) 02:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- From the source: "Among the Swedish names is Himmelska nyckla - the Keys of Heaven". LittleJerry (talk) 01:32, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Prothorax wording
editInstead of "The coccinellid prothorax (front of thorax) is broad and convex...", would it be more clear to write, "The coccinellid prothorax (the first segment of the thorax) ..."? -rudyard (talk) 19:17, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
