UHhhhhhh I think I spot one tiny mistake with the photo
[edit]To be honest this is my first time doing edit or chatting on Wikipedia so Im not sure how to use it
BUT!
The "In culture" section YES!
The first image "Butterfly and daisy in Turkey" yes thats the part I wanna point out
Its actually a SPOONWING (Nemopteridae) instead of an Butterfly
So I hope you guys can edit it soon. Thank you <3
(by the way I dont have any photo of butterfly with daisy on hand right now so I cant send you guys any) LeMinhTa (talk) 17:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- That's a good catch, it's definitely a Neuropteran. I removed the image, and there are plenty of others, so it probably doesn't need a replacement. KoA (talk) 17:14, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Omg I didn't though that someone actually saw my comment and reply :O
- Thank you (for both saw my suggestion and edit on the mistake)

- My guess is Nemoptera sinuata, but on Commons, I put the image into the parent category (c:Category:Nemoptera). --Leyo 01:23, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Possible grammatical mistake
Change "a vast a swarm" to "a vast swarm"
Sentence: "When Taira no Masakado was secretly preparing his famous revolt, a vast a swarm of butterflies appeared in Kyoto."
