## What is Butterfly Identifier & Scanner?

Butterfly Identifier is the AI-powered field guide that names the butterfly in front of you. Snap a photo and get an instant, expert-level identification — species, conservation status, host plants, look-alikes, and more — no field guide required.

KEY FEATURES:

- Instant AI Identification
  Photograph any butterfly and get the common and scientific name in seconds, with a confidence score and the exact field marks the AI used to decide.

- Two-Shot Accuracy
  Add an optional underside (wings-closed) photo. The ventral pattern is what separates tricky look-alikes — so the second shot unlocks the highest-confidence identifications.

- Conservation at a Glance
  Every result shows the species' IUCN conservation status and rarity, from Least Concern to Endangered — so you know when you've found something special.

- Host & Nectar Plants
  See the caterpillar host plants and adult nectar sources for each species — perfect for planning a pollinator garden that actually attracts them.

- Look-Alikes, Explained
  The app surfaces similar species and tells you exactly how to tell them apart — wing bars, size, range — so you learn to identify them yourself.

- Field Notes & Fun Facts
  Wingspan, habitat, flight season, range, life cycle, migration, and memorable facts for every species you find.

- Your Personal Collection
  Every identification is saved to a searchable collection with your own photo — build a life list of the butterflies you've seen.

WHY BUTTERFLY IDENTIFIER:

A paper field guide makes you flip through hundreds of plates. Butterfly Identifier does the work instantly, in the field, from a single photo — then teaches you the field marks so you get better every time. Whether you're a gardener, a hiker, a teacher, a parent, or a budding naturalist, expert butterfly knowledge fits in your pocket.

PERFECT FOR:
- Gardeners planting for pollinators
- Hikers and nature photographers
- Parents and teachers exploring with kids
- Citizen scientists and naturalists building a life list
- Anyone curious about the butterfly that just landed nearby
