Bug Identifier & Insect
Read full descriptionHide full description
What bug is that, and does it bite? Point your camera at anything with six legs and know in seconds. Buggy identifies insects, spiders and household pests from a single photo, then answers the question you actually care about: is it harmless, does it sting, is it venomous, or is it eating your house? IDENTIFY ANY BUG • Snap a photo of any insect or spider (or pick one from your library) • Get the species, the scientific name and the group it belongs to • A clear safety verdict on every scan: Harmless, Stings, Venomous or Pest • Practical advice: treat the sting, remove the pest, or leave the pollinator alone • Lookalikes named for you: the hoverfly that isn't a wasp, the house spider that isn't a recluse WHAT BIT ME? • Start from the mark, not the bug: tag what your bite looks and feels like • Itchy welt overnight? Cluster in a line? Blister? Each tag narrows the list • See which species leave that mark, and the signs that mean call a doctor SPECIES WORLD MAP • Every species in the guide plotted on a world map • Filter by harmless, stings, or what's flying right now • Season windows follow your hemisphere, so spring means spring where you are • Plus: find the parks and gardens near you worth exploring FIELD GUIDE & ALMANAC • 30 species with full profiles: size, habitat, diet, range and fun facts • Life cycle timelines: egg to larva to pupa to adult, stage by stage • Sting pain ratings for the species that can actually hurt you • Eight illustrated guides: bee or wasp or hoverfly, pantry moths, clothes moths, house spiders, fireflies, bug-watching with kids HOUSEHOLD PESTS • Four shelves: pantry and stored food, wood and structure, fabric and carpet, kitchen and bath • Know what you're dealing with before you buy a spray FIELD LOG • Every scan saved with its photo, date and place • Add your own sightings and notes • Watch your species count grow CREDITS Packs of 10 or 20 credits. Each scan costs 1 credit. No subscription, no auto-renewal. Maps, guides and all other features are free. Note: identifications and danger notes are AI-generated guidance, not medical advice. If a bite or sting brings swelling, breathing trouble or a spreading rash, call a doctor, don't wait on an app. Terms of Use: https://identifier-proxy.vercel.app/insect/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://identifier-proxy.vercel.app/insect/privacy/ Scan the bug on your wall, and finally know whether to worry.
