Insect Identifier 4+

Spider labeled anything but a spider

Even labeled a spider as a wasp when it’s obviously a spider
Thank you for the update and would be nice if you included them in with your bug and insect identification. Thank you for your updated response and I am updating this review to reflect the overall performance on other bug identification

Developer Response ,

We are sorry for the inconvenience! Spiders are not insects and so the app could not identify spiders at this time. We will definitely improve the database to include more species in the future!

don't bother

I had some bugs on my rose plant, took some pictures and then i took the bugs put it in a ziplock bag, and i took few photos. one of the photos i took next to a penny, so after i downloaded the app, i used it to take a picture, now it does have an area of focus, so i made sure the bug is in that area and in focus, i took the picture, and it took only the penny part, AI my @#$&#$ , and it identified it as a red bug. since the app has an option to use already taken pictures, i tried (mind u that is the second attempt), it would not identify and it want to upgrade, otherwise it is as if i have done nothing. i tried few times and same , so I deleted it. waste of time. don't bother

Labeled most things as a wasp

This app is a great idea but it would need some serious work, I started by scanning a photo of a mound ant (Formica exsectoides) and it thought it was a type of wasp, I get that that could happen as they are somewhat related, however after more trials with different insects it never got anything right, and most of the time it just labeled things as a type of wasp, it even thought an American cockroach was a ground wasp. Overall I think this is a great idea for an app but until it’s more reliable as a tool to identify things then I would not recommend it.
