BugPic - Identify any insect in seconds, just by snapping a photo

BugPic helps you identify insects in seconds. Snap a photo to learn what it is, if it bites, where it lives, and why it’s interesting. Works with butterflies, moths, beetles, ants, spiders, and all the mystery bugs you find in the wild (or your bathroom).

Hey everyone 👋
This is BugPic, a bug identifier app for iPhone.
Take a photo of any insect, and BugPic will tell you what it is, whether it bites or stings, where it lives, and what makes it interesting.
• Works with butterflies, moths, beetles, ants, spiders, and more
• Danger level, bite/sting info, fun facts
• No ads, no tracking, no login
• Clean and simple design

If you enjoy using it, a quick review on the App Store would really help us out.

🗓 BugPic will be completely free for life this Sunday, July 27.
Download it that day and it’s yours forever.

Would love to hear what weird bugs it helps you ID 🐜
Thanks for checking it out!

Me and my son go bug hunting in the park every other weekend. We usually bring a guidebook, but this app might replace that. I like how it’s built with real curiosity and not just utility.

@sandhya_kumari_ It's exactly the use we had in mind when creating it...that and me freaking out over spiders I find at home thinking they will kill me.

Similar tool should be used for plants and mushrooms to prevent food poisoning.

P.S. This could be cool for pupils at secondary schools, kids in the summer camps etc. to educate them a little bit.

Raf

@busmark_w_nika Yup, we have one for plants (which also states "edibility and use").
Trying to reach those users :)

Snapping a pic and instantly knowing if that creepy bug in my bathroom bites? That's genius, fr. You folks read my mind—can't wait to try this!

So cool and so niche, love it.
Remind me of the HotDog app from Silicon Valley on HULU

@peterbuch  hotdog… or not a hotdog?

No more googling “weird bug in my bathroom” pics—just snap and know instantly? That’s realy genius, tbh. Makers, you totally nailed it with this one!
