Polistes japonicus/japonicas

You and User:Zroscope both created articles about the same wasp, it would appear. For the purpose of your class assignment, the history of both articles is preserved in the article history, but we can't have two separate articles about the same wasp, so I have created a redirect from Polistes japonicas to Polistes japonicus.

Changes to Brachygastra lecheguana

Hey there, you recently edited the page for Brachygastra lecheguana (which is the wasp that I worked on) in the taxonomy section. Do you mind quickly letting me know on my talk page why you made the change, because I'm a little confused why you changed what you did. Thanks!
