About this app

Bugscope is your pocket field guide for the insect world. Point your camera at any bug, butterfly, spider, or beetle and get an instant identification with rich details about the species — common name, scientific name, family, habitat, diet, and how to assess whether it's safe to handle.

Whether you're hiking a trail, gardening in the backyard, or curious about something crawling on the windowsill, Bugscope helps you understand what's in front of you in seconds. Each identification includes a clear danger rating (Safe, Mild Risk, Moderate, or Dangerous), fun facts, and field notes written for real-world use — not just textbook taxonomy.

Built for nature lovers, parents, hikers, gardeners, and anyone who's ever asked "What is that bug?" Bugscope turns curiosity into knowledge — one scan at a time.
