The Feldspar [Orthoclase Group], Amazonite, and Diatomite pictures aren't working for me.

Right now, when we get a wrong answer, we close the pop-up, but the quiz automatically moves to the next questions, so we can't figure out what we did wrong. Could you change that so there is no automatic moving-on?

^ Actually, other users might not have that problem since they probably play on a computer. I was playing this quiz on my iPad, so the pop-up often blocks the picture.

Thanks in advance!

I'd love one of these for Water Quality organisms.

this is already really cool, but maybe for entomology there should be one quiz for families and one for orders because sometimes the answer is an order and it doesn't specify which one to put...
just a suggestion...
thanks!

I actually haven't had this happen... If it's an organism where the family is on the list, it is always the family. If there's no family, you have to put the order. I don't know what else.

One of the pictures for Cicadidae looks like a Christmas ornament... And one of the Saturniidae pictures says Saturniidae.
This has been really helpful! :D

EDIT: There's also a Strepsiptera picture that says Strepsiptera on it.
And there's also a blank picture, where if you skip it there isn't actually an answer on it. Not a big deal, but... Eh.
And there's a tussock moth larvae picture, and the answer only says Lymantriidae. I don't think we were supposed to know those larvae...

I have also encountered the tussock moth larvae.
