Hatnote: “Class enemy”
Readers searching for “enemy” land here every day. The hatnote spares them the disappointment: this hypothesis is about beetles. — Old Mole (talk) 15:02, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
The whole article reads as an argument that the plant has no enemies. Perhaps it has none because it has done nothing to deserve them. — InvisibleHand (talk) 15:18, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
It has no enemies of its own. The ones it has eat parsnips too. That is a different thing. — Rosa L. (talk) 15:40, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
For what it is worth, the parsnip webworm is now recorded on giant hogweed in the Netherlands (Harvey et al. 2020). The enemies may be catching up. See Furanocoumarin § Arms race. — Kingfisher (talk) 08:30, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
Is the hatnote “Not to be confused with Class enemy” really necessary? Nobody could confuse the two. — Ed. Bernstein (talk) 14:50, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
