For anything but common adult moths I would not be accepting any of CarbonAI's suggestions without checking them against a primary source. And further, for moth larvae it is unlikely CabonAI's suggestions are going to be correct for anything but a handful of common, distinctive looking caterpillars.
CarbonAI is getting better at ID, but is still on a steep learning curve for most moth species on NatureMapr.
This is what a P. sanguinipuncta caterpillar looks like.

I suggest without any confidence this may be a beetle larva.
