Identify cockroach species from a photo
Photograph a cockroach and learn its species, visible features, habitat, and life-cycle information.
Learn what kind of cockroach you found
Seeing a cockroach in your home can be unsettling, but different species have different sizes, colors, body shapes, and habitats. A clear photo gives you a useful starting point for learning what kind of cockroach you found.
Bug Identifier analyzes a photo and returns an AI-powered identification with general species information. You can learn about visible features, typical habitat, and life-cycle stages without relying on a guess based only on color or size.
Cockroach identification can be challenging because adults and nymphs look different, and several species share similar markings. Photographing the insect from above in good light gives the app the clearest image to work with.
Bug Identifier provides general identification information. It cannot inspect a property, determine whether an infestation is present, or replace advice from a qualified pest-control professional.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about insect identification.
What features help identify a German cockroach?
German cockroaches are small, light brown, and commonly have two dark parallel stripes behind the head. Bug Identifier can help identify visible features from a clear photo, but an identification result is not a property inspection or treatment recommendation.
What can the app tell me about a large cockroach?
The app can help compare visible features and identify the species from a clear photo. Size alone is not enough to determine where a cockroach came from or whether a recurring problem is present.
Can the app identify baby cockroaches?
Yes. Baby cockroaches (nymphs) look different from adults and are often harder to identify. They're smaller, may be a different color, and lack fully developed wings. Bug Identifier can help compare a nymph's visible features, but cannot determine whether an infestation is present.
Does the app inspect how cockroaches are getting into my home?
No. It can provide general habitat information after an identification, but it cannot inspect a building, confirm an entry route, or replace advice from a qualified pest-control professional.
