Under "insects and other bugs" --> Diversity --> figure with header "Insects are extremely diverse. Five groups each have over 100,000 described species" the word "Bettles" should be changed to "Beetles" Finaledylctvm (talk) 06:54, 12 December 2023 (UTC) Done.

I feel we can still use File:Insect collage.png. We can either expand it with non-Neoptera insects or even replace two of them. LittleJerry (talk) 02:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- I feel that that would be a backward step. Here's why. Many, most, readers now use small mobile devices. They see a tiny collage of 4, 8, 12, 16 teeny tiny leggy thingies with, um, legs or teeth or shells or somethings. Don't know, doesn't matter, move on, read.... it's simply useless as an experience.
- With one insect there, those readers have a chance of seeing a 3-part body, 3 pairs of legs, a complex head, a long abdomen, segments even. A million times more useful, more to the point. Chiswick Chap (talk) 03:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Change "Woodlouse: a dozen legs, a dozen segments"
to "Woodlouse: seven pairs of legs, seven body segments" 50.173.91.21 (talk) 14:34, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- That'd be seven thoracic segments, I see. Ok, let's tweak the text. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
