Feedback

Nice to see an article on this topic. I heard about this when researching mimicry a few years ago and was unsure whether it was a broad enough topic for an article; it clearly is. A more general article on the luring of prey might also be a possibility, since aggressive mimicry is more broad still (in the more liberal definition of the term anyway).

Updating exemplar image for article

Hi there,

I've replaced this image as what I felt was a clearer example has been added to commons today. If you object to the change please comment by reply. I will do some other work to tidy/expand/link too. Leela0808 (talk) 09:56, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added to Article

Hello, I have added information to the existing article. I added sections to better structure of the article. I added information to the lead and to the mimicry section. I have also expanded on the different types of animals that practice caudal luring. I added very little to the experimental paradigm, evolution and interpretation section --Aennis15 (talk) 01:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thanks, that was very bold of you. The lead section is only a summary of the rest of the article, i.e. it is not the place to add new material or citations. I've tidied up the formatting but some reorganisation is in fact required. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:34, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

50 species of snakes

Maybe we should start a separate page that would provide a list. Readers will be more interested if this phenomenon occurs in a species of snake within their own region. Vagabond nanoda (talk) 18:02, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Only if every entry is cited to a reliable source; that would not include "popular" fun-fact websites. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:06, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
