Rose aphid with dark siphunculi

• ... that the rose aphid and the rose-grain aphid both overwinter on rose bushes, but the latter disperses to grass and cereal crops in summer?
  • ALT1:... that the rose aphid (pictured) and the rose-grain aphid are both found on rose bushes but can be told apart by the colour of their siphunculi?

• @Cwmhiraeth:
  • Both are long enough, new/newly-expanded enough, neutral in tone, have no unreferenced paragraphs, no apparent copyright violations. The images on M. rosae, including the one for the hook, are appropriately licensed. Image also appears fine at this scale. Both hooks are short enough and formatted correctly, and interesting. QPQ (x2) is done.
  • Information in hooks is stated clearly in the articles, but I think information in hooks should have citations directly after the relevant sentences, not just at the end of the paragraph. You can easily fix this by just adding in some extra footnotes.
  • That's the only issue I'm seeing now, otherwise it looks like you will be good to go. Umimmak (talk) 08:22, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

@Umimmak: Thanks. I have added a couple more footnotes, is that better? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:11, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: Yes, that looks better, thanks. Maybe you can be explicit about the sentences saying they overwintering on roses, but the sentences with citations pretty much say that? Just to be safe as down the reviewing line some editors can be stricter than others. P.S. do you want to wikilink overwintering in the article/hook? Something to consider (I'm leaning towards yes in article, no in hook but that's your call). Umimmak (talk) 10:26, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
