Talk:Mastigoproctus giganteus

Photo Credits

Photo uploads were done by an account that no linger exists. The first photo has a complete entry claiming ownership and giving usual permissions. The Second photo does not have the required information but claims own work.

I traced the second photo the Potawatomi zoo page that gives permissions to share. https://www.potawatomizoo.org/animal/vinegaroon/ I added the share information to the page photo because it does not occur on the photo declaration page.

I added a photo that also occurs on the Vinegaroon page, including photo credit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Astrojed (talk • contribs) 02:11, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

The page has been improved by a different editor standardizing the text of photo credits. Astrojed (talk) 03:04, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Start Class

The page is much enlarged and improved and may deserve a better class.

Low Importance

These reclusive nocturnal creatures are locally abundant and are protected by private individuals. Vinegaroons are regarded as important in the balance of life because of their large consumption of harmful insects and spiders.

Most notably the Mastigoproctus giganteus is able to kill and eat stinging scorpions which are also most active at night, contributing to control of hazards to human population. Astrojed (talk) 03:12, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

A higher class might be a signed by writers who reside in the natural range and participate in giving protection.
