About Insects Identifier
Insect Identifier by Picture identifies a bug or spider from a camera shot or library photo in a few seconds. It gives the common and scientific name with a confidence meter, a safety rating from harmless to potentially dangerous, whether it stings, bites or is venomous, look-alikes with the clues that tell them apart, and season, habitat, diet, size and range.
A ladybird guide named Coco answers follow-up questions about your find, with conversations deleted two weeks after last use. Every species identified becomes an illustrated sticker card in a collection, with rarity based on how often people observe it, monthly challenges and card sharing. The app covers groups such as beetles, moths, bees, wasps, ants, ticks, caterpillars, snails and slugs, and is offered in eight languages.
Pro unlocks unlimited identifications and questions, billed weekly or yearly with prices shown in the app. The safety information is described as general guidance rather than medical advice, and the app is published by Marcin Slusarek.
