the ferry berry taking up 40% of the image is for scale

"under their body" is a grammar error.
There are so many genus groups now...
The little "thip" in the image is...unusual for an image. It's like a comic. Usually, words are only in an image to indicate the Generation, creator, and occasionally diagrammatic information. You should probably remove the "thip". (Yes, I am imposing censorthip on your image.)

I've put sound effects in images before with no issues. I generally avoid it in single-species submissions, but it can be useful when depicting a genus group since there's gonna be several poses showing different behavior.

This is only the first new wingworm genus I have planned for this gen. They lost so much diversity and have been ignored so much that genus groups might just be the only reason any flighted wingworms are even still extant. They deserve love and attention.

Are their tongues always out? If the answer is yes or no, could you mention that in the description?

I have clarified

Do you mean main images? If so, I don't recall any. Supplemental images would likely have lower standards.

I wonder if making group overview pages might encourage people to diversify particular lineages over others? I wonder if there's any correlation between description length or number of pictures or descendants? Certainly, the Seashrog, which has a very long description and more than one picture, has many descendants, but there are multiple factors contributing to shrog popularity. I wonder if there's a way to automate pattern-finding like this.

I believe plentmowers over in Beta have a sound effect in their artwork.

Lineages being elaborated does help inspire new ideas for them. And attention from one person draws more eyes. I seem to recall in beta having someone evolve a species that was getting no attention as part of a swap, and then suddenly everyone's attention was on it and it got a ton of descendants before they even finished theirs.
