Leave a Review Picture Insect
Very helpful
As someone with SEVERE arachnophobia, this app basically helps me determine which spiders are venomous, and living in the south there are more than enough to go around. This app has been super helpful at helping identify different kinds of spiders, and even helped alert us to several brown recluse in our house. The ONLY thing I would suggest is maybe having a toggle option that would allow you to read the info about the identification, without seeing the pictures. I obviously understand why there are pictures, but it definitely makes my experience that much more anxiety inducing.Show lessohhhhhmyyyyyygoddddddd
Helps me ID bees
I’ve become a little obsessed with native bees over the past couple years, and got this app to help identify all the different kinds I’ve photographed. It’s not always right, but it gets at least the right genus 80-90% of the time, which is very good, considering the sheer number of bee and wasp species there are to choose from. I’ve only used it free, but am actually thinking about subscribing just to support them.Show less'liza
Amazing!
I signed up on a whim, thinking I would cancel after my 7 day free trial. No way, I’m keeping this forever. It has already proven SO useful. I have identified a male western black widow in my home AND a brown recluse (as well as many other non-venomous and harmless spiders/insects). This app is very easy to use, the camera feature takes very decent and accurate photos, and the database of information available is excellent. I am telling everyone I know about this app.Show lessTheyAllBeTaken
Like Microsoft Help, Provides much information, little of it useful
I purchased this product to help identify bugs in the garden. When it identifies the bug correctly (which is about 80% of the time) the information given is of little use. It rarely says whether the bug is “Beneficial” or a “Pest”. Mainly gives general information. I usually have to go to a different source to find this out.
The App’s camera feature is not good. It is usually out of focus and always out of focus when image is zoomed in. If I use the Camera on the phone it is sometimes better but in the time it takes to go to Camera, many times the bug is gone.

Quick ID
Has identified several bugs I found around in my yard (Nashville, TN). It’ll ID very tiny aphids, paper wasps, bug nymphs, big brown recluse spiders.
I rather use the built it camera app in my iPhone 13 to take a pic, bc the user interface (of the camera app) is friendlier. The in-app camera controls are not as user friendly - I have issues with the zooming controls placement and the screen-tap to focus control is removed.
Other than the camera controls the app gives you a good amount of info. I like it.Show lessGelenilgos
Loving it so far!
I have had this app for a few months now and as an aspiring entomologist, I've gotta say I have very few complaints! Most of the time it works properly and gives me accurate identifications while also providing options and opening the possibility of it being wrong. after i've been using the app for some time (and learned more about spiders 😃) I've noticed one or two out of hundreds of IDs have been incorrect. That being said, I love that it doesn't just spit out a species name and that it gives you full descriptions and comparison photos so that you can verify the accuracy of the identification yourself. my only complaints are that the pop-ups are annoying and that the built in camera isn't fantastic, so i normally default to using my device's camera and then importing a photo. Overall, great app that I plan to continue using throughout my studies! 4/5 😀Show lessIce bear for president
Developer Response
Hello, thanks for your feedback, is the issue with camera fixed, if not, you can email to us at support@pictureinsect.com, we will help to check accordingly and figure out how to do.Does not work well
I chose this app because I have its “sister” app for identifying plants and couldn’t be more impressed with that one!
This bug one, on the other hand, is basically useless. I’ve tried identifying many types of bugs, many attempts each, and each attempt it gives me a different result and almost every time that result is incorrect and usually not even close. On top of that, the data they have on each bug they identify is extremely minimalistic and basically useless. Again, their plant app excels greatly in this area with tons of accurate and useful information so I expected better from the same creator.
2 stars because it does identify some insects and that’s kind of cool, but really doesn’t do anything “well”…Show lessTmaxxman33
Really enjoy this app!
I went on vacation recently and installed this app to check out the different insects I came across as we hiked the woods of the Ozark mountains in Arkansas. I had more fun identifying the many insects I came across in the woods and even the ones that managed to find their way into our RV. My husband and I learned so much about the insect world. At home I use this to identify what is on my plants and discover if it is beneficial for my plants or needs to leave!Show lesszweetzoey
Digger Wasp Identification
OK so this is the first time I have used this app and I found that at first it did not identify the picture of the insect that I was trying to identify; this maybe because my picture was too blurry ; so be careful that your picture is a little bit more precise. Once I made my picture a little clearer and I went through a selection because it gave me an option of what the insect variety’could be ‘ to clarify my choice. I was able to identify the culprit of a nasty sting to my right toe yesterday.
I look forward to using this app. As I live in a place where there are lots of their interesting and six beneficial And occasionally annoying.Show lessHarryPeterProud
Why you should choose this app.
I woke up to a bug on my arm crawling I freaked out and couldn’t identify the bug after 2 hours of searching google. I got this app and as soon as it installed I opened it pressed the button it immediately saw the bug that I had killed and self zoomed in on it and everything despite it even being in a shady area, and identified it in 6 seconds, as a false bombardier beetle. And even gave me facts about it too.Show lessThicc Olboy
