Peer review

[edit]

Hello! I think the information here is pretty solid. I rearranged the headers to better match the article format on Project Diptera, and changed the nesting as well. This included moving the “Life Cycle”, “Diet”, and “Parental Care” sections to be main headers. I also edited some wordy sentences and ones that seemed a little subjective. Overall it was an interesting read! I just wanted to clarify what you were referring to in the second sentence of the description section that says "Variation in the same is often seen at the subfamily level."

I think this article could use a little more depth into the parasitism of bee larvae as this appears to be one of the more interesting facets about this species. I would encourage you to add more explanation into how this process works and how this directly impacts bees. Also consider adding this topic to the top introduction paragraph that gives an overview of this species. --Rchiou (talk) 02:29, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article was formatted very well and contained lots of info. I edited physiology section so it flows better, but feel free to change it again. The conservation section is very short so maybe some more can be added. Some pictures could be added to give this article something else to look at.

Hey Ani, Your article is written very well and contains a lot of useful information that has been thoroughly examined and appropriately placed. You did well to stick to a neutral tone while providing accurate information. In order to help the article flow a little more smoothly, I reworded a sentence in the "Description" section to limit wordiness. Aside from this, I also made a small edit in the "Food Resources" section to highlight the fact that researchers have been unable to find a plant that is only pollinated by the bee-fly. I think your article will improve immensely if the "Description" section is split into a male and female section to highlight the differences between the sexes (if there is any). Other than that, fantastic job! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikhilaggarwal123 (talkcontribs) 05:41, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
