AI critic verdicts

“Helicoverpa species complex is a globally recognized pod-feeding pest of soybean and other legumes; aggregating to genus is appropriate given the source.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Helicoverpa spp. (Noctuidae) larvae bore into legume pods including soybean; genus-level claim is well-supported even though specific spp. attribution would strengthen it.”
