Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

Lead is quite concise and has a reasonable amount of information. I would recommend adding some more additional information on the chemical properties of Carminic acid in this section going forward though.

Content

The content added is very relevant and was necessary for this article. There was only neutral content added which is excellent. Going forward I suggest expanding the harvesting and deterrent subsections. I think that the content added is excellent, it just needs to be expanded a bit overall. Because the sources are a bit old now, there might be more novel uses for the chemical now that can be added in the future. You could also talk about the history of the use of this chemical if you are struggling for ideas of what material should be added.

Tone and balance

Overall the article is fully adequate in this area, nothing of note.

Sources and references

Most of the sources are fairly old, some updated sources for harvesting and deterrent would be great when you eventually expand these areas. The quality of the sources appear to be quite good, just outdated. See if you can find some new papers for both the harvesting process and use sections.

Organization

Organization is good for where this article is in its development. It is hard to quantify at this point because there are only three sections. No significant spelling or grammatical errors that I could detect

Images and media

There is no images or media in the sandbox, however it is not really that necessary given the chemical structure is already in the article. An image of the insect species would be nice.

Overall

The article needs some expanding, but this is a good start. The content added has greatly improved the article and is very informative. Other then further expanding there is not much needed for this article going forward, it's a very neutral topic.
