Discover what beetle you've found
Beetles vary widely in size, color, shape, and habitat. The beetle you found in your garden could be a beneficial species or a plant pest, and telling the difference at a glance isn't always easy.
Bug Identifier analyzes a photo of the beetle and provides an AI-powered identification with general information about visible features, habitat, diet, and life cycle.
Beetles can be difficult to distinguish because many species share similar colors and body shapes. Learning which species you found can help you understand its role in the local ecosystem without relying on a guess based only on appearance.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about insect identification.
Can the app identify a beetle found on a plant?
It can help identify the beetle from a clear photo and provide general information about the species. An identification result cannot confirm that the beetle caused specific plant damage.
How does the app handle beetle larvae identification?
Bug Identifier can help identify some beetle larvae, often called grubs. Larvae look very different from adult beetles, so capture the clearest photo possible and treat the result as general identification information.
What makes beetle identification so challenging?
Beetles display wide variation in size, color, and shape, while some species look nearly identical at a glance. A clear photo gives the app useful visible features to compare, but the result should be treated as general identification information.
Can I identify beetles I find at night?
Yes, as long as you can get a clear photo with adequate lighting. Many beetles are nocturnal, so using your phone's flashlight or a nearby light source will help capture the detail needed for accurate identification. Try to avoid harsh shadows by lighting the beetle from a slight angle.
