Identify any bug in seconds. Insects, spiders, beetles, butterflies, moths, wasps, bees, ants, caterpillars, dragonflies, crickets - take a photo and you have your answer. Scan it with the camera or pick a picture from your gallery. You can also record the sound: crickets and cicadas are identified from their song alone. Every result tells you the species, how sure the app is, and whether it bites, stings, or is venomous. If it cannot pin down the exact species it says so instead of guessing, and it never softens a warning to sound more confident. Photo identification runs on your device, your pictures are never uploaded, and it works with no signal. Bug Identifier also has a huge encyclopedia: 7,681 species with photographs, descriptions and further reading in your own language. Browse by group - spiders, bees and wasps, butterflies, moths, beetles, dragonflies, grasshoppers, mantises, flies or open the Nearby view to see what people are actually finding around you. Photograph what you find, add species to your wishlist, and build a collection of your favourites. Your full identification history is kept as well, so you have a record of every bug you have met at home, in the garden, or travelling. Free with 3 identifications a month. Premium removes the limit, a weekly or monthly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase, at the prices shown in the app before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and are managed in your App Store account settings. Results are provided for educational reference and may not always be correct. Safety information describes a species in general and is not medical advice, nor a substitute for professional medical, wildlife, or pest-control advice.

The clearest difference is ads: Bug Identifier at none against Buggy's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
