Photograph any insect, beetle, butterfly or spider and find out what you are looking at — and whether it bites, stings, or is simply going about its day.
Usually crouched in a garden, holding a phone in one hand, with no idea whether the thing in front of you is dangerous.
7,681 species, recognised on the phone itself. You get a ranked shortlist with a confidence you can argue with, never a single confident-looking guess.
Most insect apps answer a spider with the least-unlike insect they know. This one can tell the difference.
Every result says whether the species bites, stings, or is harmless — and says plainly when there is no reliable data.
Record a cricket, katydid or cicada singing and hear back which one it was.
Search or wander by group — butterflies, beetles, bees, dragonflies, spiders — with photographs and taxonomy from iNaturalist.
Save species you would like to meet. Identify one and it is marked as found.
The same three the app walks you through on first launch.
One photo, or a recording if it is singing. Nothing is uploaded for photo identification.
Name, taxonomy, whether it is dangerous, and how sure the app actually is.
Every find is saved to your collection, with the photograph you took.
