Do you mind if you add descriptions on what the bigger words might be for readers who are not as good? 45.27.219.136 ( talk) 21:56, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
There isn’t a separate section on parental care even though it mentions that females use spermatophores to provide nutrients to their eggs in the mating section. I think having a separate section for parental care rather than excess and thorough information in the mating section would help improve the flow and organization of this entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anushkav18 ( talk • contribs) 15:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
I made a new section labeled "Polyandry" but it may be beneficial to add more information on the polyandrous nature of female Photinus pyralis. Additionally, I took out the last two paragraphs of the introduction section and made them a part of the “Defense” section of this article. I think this makes the introduction slightly more connected and less long.

I reorganized the page in order to better fit the formatting for other articles in the "Beetles" project. Furthermore, I added the senescence section and cut some redundancies in the article. Beetles4life ( talk) 04:04, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Peer review: I really appreciated this entry on the for its comprehensiveness - from classification to biotechnological research, highlighting the intriguing section on light production involving bioluminescence. However, I thought it was needed (as someone mentioned in the talk page earlier) to simplify complex paragraphs and incorporating more visuals to enhance understanding for a broader audience. I helped change the paragraph on biotechnology resereach to make it more easy to follow. Overall, I think we are on track to reach a good article status
The second paragraph of the Defence topic should be made into a new topic called predators 2600:1700:D40:9730:BD8:560C:FB94:1C55 ( talk) 02:40, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi! This was a fantastic article. I thought the sections that were included were very interesting and relevant to most readers interested in the species. I particularly enjoyed the information about Historical Migration and the Defense section.
Here are the suggestions I have for the article:
Here are the edits I have made. Most of them are just some grammatical changes for either correctness or to increase readability. I also added some hyperlinks and changed one hyperlink to the first mention of the term instead of the second.
Great job on the article! It was super interesting to read. E.a.eslinger ( talk) 22:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
In the Photinus pyralis article, some words should be linked to articles to establish more clarity in the context. For instance, I added linked articles to words ‘bioluminescence,’ ‘endemic,’ ‘Miocene epoch’, ‘single nucleotide polymorphisms,’ etc.
For some paragraphs, there are no information of which reference source the information came from. For instance, in the second sentence of the Geographic Range section, there is no inline citations for this sentence. The same occurrence happens in the last sentence and first paragraph of the Biotechnology research section. JKatieWiki8Feb ( talk) 07:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
