Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Mezcal worm/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Good information here, but unfortunately no real useful references, so who knows where most of the information came from. I would love to verify it but I can find no good info sources myself. Everything on the web either refers to other web articles, also with no references, or simply states information with no references. The only reference given here that doesn't simply link to another wikipedia entry, links to a popular article, and not anything academically useful [ie. a journal article or authoritative book].

The same goes for the information found in the linked pages for Scyphophorus acupunctatus, Hypopta agavis and Aegiale hesperianus - it would be great to have this information referenced.
