Lame and inaccurate hook, so you scored points because I clicked on the lame article
You used "calico" incorrectly in the hook. Its specific epithet is "calico," but the species is not "calico," the species is "P. calico." And that is still the specific epithet.
Can someone please put an end to bad and inaccurate science on the main page, soon? -Fjozk (talk) 01:35, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
