Major Edit

Hi. My name is Lewis Weobley and I am a final year biology undergraduate with an interest in parasitology and I am planning to edit this page for an educational assignment.

<WuStanley>Wiki12Sept The article is well written and provide an informative overview of Lutzomyia. However, the addition of a Morphology section would allow readers to better understand the physical appearance, and couple well with the biology section to further explain the development of larvae, through instar phases, to adulthood. Added on to this, I think a Social Interaction section would also bolster the interest of readers, especially from a Behavioral studies perspective. I understand that their are a multitude of fly wikipedia pages, but this particular page should be elevated to a Start Class, not only for its medical importance, but also because of its breath of knowledge that the article introduces. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanthewu (talk • contribs) 22:11, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
