Could not get any correct results of a caterpillar. Ended up finding a clear crystal picture if it on Google that claimed it was a green oak totrix. It felt like the app's IDs got worse when I used better images. Closest it ever got to was a dark strawberry tortrix after I edited the image into being super zoomed-in and blurry, and that was after a LOT of attempts. A different app got the first and continued guess of a brown oak tortrix, which is much closer than anything this app managed.

We're sorry to hear about your difficulty with caterpillar identification, Blagden Hawkes. For best results, try taking clear, well-lit photos that show the caterpillar's distinctive features. If you'd like, you can send your images to support@pictureinsect.com, and we'll investigate further to enhance our identification process for caterpillars.

Cannot see how to cancel! Tried but it's not for me. To use it, you have to activate it, then it's automatically going to take money after 7 days, grabbing payment info from my phone without me doing anything (!!) I keep turning the switch off, but it keeps turning itself on again! There's no other obvious way to cancel! Totally regret installing. This looks like a scam!!

As far as identifying insects goes, it's very good. However it loses marks for the constant bugging to take out a subscription. I also find it easier to take photos on my phone's camera app and then import, as the app's camera function is very laggy. It would also be nice to show my finds on a map [as Flora Incognita does with plants I record]
