My criticism: 1) why does the test not accept "sawfly" or "sawflies" as a type-in for Hymenoptera? 2) Why are beetles and ladybugs considered separate groups if ladybugs are beetles? 3) Why is only "aphids, cicadas" in the brackets after true bugs if there are lots of true bugs that do not fit into these categories, such as shield bugs?

Other than that, the quiz is okay.
