About this app

Insect identifier and bug identifier. Photograph any bug to identify the species and find out whether it bites, stings or damages your home.

IDENTIFY ANY BUG
This insect identifier names the bug from a photo, covering bed bugs, cockroaches, ants, termites, carpet beetles, clothes moths, wasps, fleas, ticks, silverfish and common garden pests.

BED BUG IDENTIFICATION
Bed bugs are the species people most want ruled out. Adults are flat, oval and roughly apple-seed sized. Carpet beetle larvae cause most false alarms and are visibly hairy where bed bugs are smooth.

FLYING ANTS OR TERMITES?
Ants have a pinched waist, elbowed antennae and unequal wings. Termites have a straight waist, straight antennae and four equal wings that drop off easily. One is a nuisance and the other is structural damage.

LARVAE AND GRUBS
The app identifies larvae as well as adults, which matters because larvae are usually what causes the damage.

Covers household, garden and stored-product insects across temperate regions.
