Talk:Beautiful demoiselle

Merging

Why. There is enough information for both articles. Look at the article in the German wikipedia, and you understand what I mean. Taka 18:03, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree - there is no good reason to merge the genus and species articles! Kaarel 00:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree too Dixonsej

Picture of the day

The Beautiful Demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) is a European damselfly. It is often found among fast-flowing waters. Males (shown here) have metallic blue wings and metallic blue-green bodies. Females have dark brown iridescent wings, a white pseudopterostigma near the tip of the wings and a metallic green body with a bronze tip of the abdomen.Photo: Richard Bartz

Englishing needed

The following passage is too opaque to edit: "the severity of the tracheal gills on their abdomen. Compared to other damselflies Demoiselles larvae fall immediately on the other hand, due to their much shorter mean gill lamella." --Wetman (talk) 01:59, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Eight years later, the opacity remains. I've made a start copy editing the Conservation section, and will continue as time allows. Just plain Bill (talk) 14:56, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Many sentences in the article seem almost deliberately damaged, not just the one mentioned. Parts of sentences are repeated or shifted to points where their connection to the rest isn’t understandable. If large parts of the article were translated by online services, the reader needs to be warned about that, but I don’t think the problems I see would result from online translation.

This pretty animal seems predestined to appear as picture of the day. But three times?
