DYK for Musca depicta[edit]

On 17 October 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Musca depicta, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that many 15th- and 16th-century European paintings included a conspicuous depiction of a common fly (example pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Musca depicta. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Musca depicta), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

see, it's these typos like "pece" that happen when you wing it. That just doesn't fly. In other news, your hook reached 35,299 views, making it one of the most viewed hooks for october—I'll update the stats page with it tomorrow.
