... that larvae of the Carabus japonicus species prey on earthworms up to 400 times larger than themselves? Source: Page 48 of Sota's Evolutionary Biology of Carabus Ground Beetles (https://www.google.com/books/edition/Evolutionary_Biology_of_Carabus_Ground_B/O_JQEAAAQBAJ?)
"Surprisingly, Ohomopterus larvae seldom failed to attack any size earthworm and could kill earthworms up to 400-fold larger in body weight than themselves."

No QPQ required. Hook is interesting and the source provided is reliable. My only issue with the article is that the Behavior section is improperly cited. Aside from that, everything seems fine. Davest3r08 >:3 ^(talk) 14:29, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Davest3r08! I appreciate the review. How can I update the Behavior section so that it is properly cited? NHanselman (talk) 04:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NHanselman, I'd recommend adding a citation at the end of each paragraph. Davest3r08 >:3 ^(talk) 11:46, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
