Move to Cerci[edit]

I believe this article should be moved to cerci even though that is the plural form of cercus and singular forms are usually preferred for article titles. To my knowledge, cerci never come alone in nature, but rather are paired (though they can sometimes be accompanied by a third tail filament). The insect antenna system is a very comparable case study, and it is listed under the plural noun in the Antenna (biology) article. Draeco 23:44, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, "antenna" is singular. Legs and wings also come several at a time, yet the articles about them are arthropod leg and insect wing. I know I'm answering several months late and probably for nothing, but I just wanted to say that ;) IronC hris | (talk) 17:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That picture[edit]

It says it's a katydid, but the exact same picture on ovipositor says it's a grasshopper. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 01:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
