Talk:Macrodontia cervicornis

message: It may help to head off arguments to acknowledge that there are multiple different ways to measure length. I was able to find a fairly detailed thread in this discussion group quoting my colleagues Max Barclay and George Beccaloni at the NHM in London, both authorities on this topic:
"from Max Barclay, Collection Manager, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera:
The heaviest beetles (as adults) are Goliathus, the African goliath beetles and the ‘largest’ is generally given as Titanus giganteus, which is longer than any Goliath beetle and broader than many (though not as bulky). Macrodontia is a much smaller beetle with very long jaws, and generally ‘size’ is counted as not including such appendages. If appendages were to be included, Macrodontia would be as you say much longer than Titanus, and a large male of Dynastes hercules with the very long thoracic horn, or a large specimen of Acrocinus longimanus with extremely long front legs, would also be very strong contenders for the ‘longest’ beetle. 
In reality the larvae of Titanus or Macrodontia, or of Megasoma, Goliathus etc. are very much larger than any of the adults, and heavier, though these are not ‘counted’. The larva of Titanus is not to my knowledge even known. 
- reply from George Beccaloni, Curator, Orthopteroidea and Wallace Collection:
The definitive information about all of this can be found in my book “Biggest Bugs (Life-size)” which was published by the Museum. The heaviest beetle is the South American Megasoma actaeon (larva at 228 g) [this species is far weightier than the largest goliath beetle]; the longest horned beetle is Dynastes hercules (172 mm); the longest beetle with enlarged jaws is Macrodontia cervicornis (177 mm); and the longest beetle excluding jaws and horns is Titanus giganteus (167 mm)."
As such, each of the WP entries for these beetles should include appropriate "disclaimers" that make clear which criteria are being applied. I will soon modify this article accordingly, in light of these comments. Dyanega (talk) 23:59, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  the 3 kingdoms part 

message: As stated here by a number of people, the plot is fabricated here by someone with a fertile mind.
Firstly, Meili was really an ugly girl. Jialong only fell for her because he eventually learned to look beyond appearances.
And he did not have a twin brother Goulong.. *faints*
Yaxi's resurrection from divine intervention is ridiculous, as this is a family-oriented drama, not supernatural.
And too many people died in this plot.. it was not such a grim story, but rather heart-warming and happy at the end, given what everyone went throught. The plot also missed the important plot elements.
These ridiculous plot strands were already highlighted in 2008, but nobody cared enough to delete/correct them I'm going to do the right thing for once and remove the entire section, before the plot gets profligated more. If not for the show rerunning on Singapore television now, I wouldn't have taken the effort to visit this page and found these heinous errors.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.156.186.172 (talk) 15:38, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Thanks, Lycaon, for the links. It looks like the names may be changing as we speak, so this may not be the best time to be making changes. I still think that the article should deal solely with the widespread species and not both, making only passing reference to the more narrowly-distributed species (which would get its own article). However, since an application was made in December 2006 to swap the names (see link to BZN above), this is likely to change. I would suggest that until it is clear which scientific name will be applied to which species, we should probably continue to lump them together as C. tenuimanus, as is still done in many works. --Stemonitis 06:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: These questions are addressed via minority statements (i.e., exceptions to the rule), not majority statements. Since 97% of bees do not produce honey, the one exceptional lineage in the family Apidae that DOES produce honey has it mentioned under each of the included genera (e.g., Apis, Bombus, Melipona). There are 20,000 bee species that do NOT produce honey, so it would be pretty pointless, time-consuming, and tedious to edit all of their Wikipedia entries to indicate this. The same applies to stinging; since 90% of all bees (the females, specifically) sting, it is only worth mentioning it for those rare exceptions that do not sting (e.g. Meliponini, Pedita). It's safe to assume that every bee listed in Wikipedia stings unless it specifically states otherwise. Dyanega (talk) 18:27, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Possibly just a typical variation, but I though it worth noting. 
Also, the article says they can be between 32 and 60mm... Males are at the smaller end of the range, but I must say that 60mm is enormous compared to even the huge female I found today. Edaemus (talk) 10:56, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

It says that the New Zealand Mantis has a blue eyespot on the underside of their forelegs. Shouldn't there be other differences mentioned. Like how the New Zealand ones have fatter necks, while the South African ones have thinner necks.
The South African ones have yellow on their wings which also helps to differentiate them from the New Zealand ones, and although they never have blue eyespots, they sometimes do have tiny little black spots on their legs.
This information can be important to know, since the South African Mantis does sometimes do have tiny little black spots on it's legs.
