[edit] Still a stub?

It seems that this page has a pretty complete description of the Cottontop.. anyone else think it is time to de-stub it? Katy 16:04, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

It contains well more than a couple sentences therefore is not a stub. Cburnett 18:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Significance of the name

Personally, I think that the article needs more information on the scientific name in order to "de-stub." Does this species have some sort of infatuation with their mothers? Or does Oedipus refer to something else entirely?

I did a little searching on the 'net and found that "oedipus" comes from Latin, from the Greek Oidipous: oidein, "to swell" and pous, "foot." Does this contribute?
