Can lizards shed regenerated tails? How many times can this be done? Drutt 14:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
There should be a paragraph on why humans and animals of higher class do not have this ability to grow back limbs and organs like the geckos. I know this difference is not yet entirely understood, but the topic is very interesting for the 21st century, e.g. stem cells, organ cloning, etc. Looks like artificial (metal-ceramic-plastic-cybernetic) replacement organs do not work well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.131.210.162 (talk) 09:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC).

A new study by German scientists of spiders' copulation techniques found that males leave part of their sex organ inside their female partner as a sort of "chastity belt" to deter rivals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.48.92.128 (talk) 02:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
The following sentence from the article is grammatically awkward, if not simply incorrect. I'm not sure how it should be changed to improve it while retaining its intended meaning:

I have revised the sentence by deleting reference to the two specific wasp species, (as, by implication, they are included in "no other stinging insect").Fh1 (talk) 09:03, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:White-headed dwarf gecko.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on December 8, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-12-08. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 20:00, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
I think one ref per species would be sufficient. As the sentence stands now the amount of citations looks unsightly. Kap 7 (talk) 23:56, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

I get how a weak spot in a vertebral column can be broken, but what about ALL the OTHER STUFF? There are nerves and muscles, and lymphatic systems and blood vessels and skin; how does all that detach, and further, how does it stay together in the interim?
