New enough, long enough, neutral, sourced, no copyvios, hook is acceptable length and interesting. I don't have a strong opinion on the use of scientific names; I'd be slightly inclined to give the both but maybe put the scientific name in brackets after the common name, since the common name is catchy :-) An additional sentence needed to be cited for the hook, I've taken the liberty of doing that.

- I have changed it to put the common name first. Any version is fine by me. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:02, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
