About this app

Identify any insect from a single photo.

Point your camera at a bug and Buggle names the species in seconds - the common
name, the scientific name, and the family it belongs to. Every result carries a
confidence score, so you always know how certain the match is.

An insect identifier that covers what you actually meet: butterflies, beetles,
bees, moths, dragonflies, ants, spiders and more.

📸 INSTANT INSECT IDENTIFICATION
Take a photo or pick one from your gallery. Buggle reads the markings - wing
pattern, body shape, colouring, size - and returns the species with its
scientific name, family and genus.

📖 A FIELD GUIDE THAT GOES DEEPER
Each insect opens into a full entomological profile: lifecycle, habitat, diet,
wingspan, behaviour, and whether it bites, stings or is harmless. The answers
you actually want when something lands on your arm.

💬 ASK AN AI ENTOMOLOGY EXPERT
Chat about any bug you have identified. Is it dangerous? What does it eat? What
will this caterpillar turn into? How do I attract more pollinators? Ask
follow-up questions and get direct answers.

📝 KEEP FIELD NOTES
Record weather, host plants, counts and behaviour against the specimen you
found, so a whole season of observations stays in one place.

🔬 LOG EVERY SIGHTING
Track what you observed, photographed, collected or released, with location and
date - a running record of everything you have found.

🔔 SEASONAL BUG ALERTS
Set reminders for emergence windows, milkweed checks, pollinator counts or
migration tracking. One-off or repeating.

WHO IT IS FOR
Gardeners identifying friend from pest, naturalists, entomology students,
parents answering "what is that bug?", and anyone curious about the insects
around them.

HOW IT WORKS
Buggle includes 2 free identifications so you can try it before deciding.
Unlimited insect identification is available by subscription. Manage or cancel
in your Google Play account settings at any time.

Buggle is a photo-based bug identifier. It works best with a clear, close,
well-lit shot, and reports a confidence score with every result.
Snap a photo to identify insects. Bug ID, field guide & sighting log for all.
