Identify insects in your garden
Photograph an insect on a plant and learn its species, visible features, habitat, and general ecological role.
Learn what is living in your garden
Every garden contains a mix of insects, and many species can look similar at a glance. A clear photo gives you a useful starting point for learning what is living on or near your plants.
Bug Identifier analyzes a photo and returns an AI-powered identification with general species information. You can learn about visible features, typical habitat, life-cycle stages, and the role a species may play in a garden ecosystem.
Garden insects can be difficult to identify because color and size vary with age, lighting, and life stage. 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 confirm that an insect caused specific plant damage or replace advice from a qualified horticulture or pest-control professional.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about insect identification.
Can the app identify insects causing specific plant damage?
It can help identify an insect photographed on or near a damaged plant and provide general species information. An identification result cannot confirm that the insect caused the damage.
How do I know if an insect in my garden is beneficial?
Bug Identifier provides general information about a species and its ecological role. Use the result as a starting point for learning, not as a complete assessment of your garden ecosystem.
Does the app recommend pest-control treatments?
No. Bug Identifier focuses on identification and general species information. It does not inspect your garden or prescribe pest-control treatments.
Can I use the app throughout the growing season?
Absolutely. Different pests appear at different times of the season. Early spring might bring aphids and flea beetles, midsummer brings Japanese beetles and squash bugs, and fall can see an increase in stink bugs and caterpillars. Bug Identifier helps you stay on top of whatever appears in your garden throughout the entire growing season.
