Overview Outline Idea

Basic outline for overview section (WIP):

• Name (common and scientific) and brief visual description (1 sentence).
• Basic life history/ecological information on species (1-3 sentences).
• Geographic range (1 sentence).
• Research interest and/or pest status (1-5 sentences).

I'm thinking we treat it sort of as an abstract of the article? Let me know if there's anything I'm really missing/that needs changed. --PhoenixPulver (talk) 15:01, 22 May 2023 (EDT)
