Found something crawling? Photograph it and get the answer you actually want first: is it dangerous, and are there more of them?
You found something in your bed, your kitchen, or on your child. Photograph it and know what it is in seconds.
Most bug apps hand you a species name and leave you to work out whether to panic. Beetly answers the question you actually have — first, and in plain language.
IS IT DANGEROUS? ANSWERED FIRST
Every species opens with a clear, colour-coded verdict: harmless, nuisance, can hurt, or take this one seriously. For the overwhelming majority of what turns up indoors the answer is "this can't hurt you", and Beetly says so plainly instead of leaving you to imagine the worst.
ARE THERE MORE OF THEM?
The second question nobody else answers. Some species are one-off wanderers; others mean you have a problem worth acting on today. Beetly tells you which is which, and what the sensible next step actually is.
HONEST ANSWERS, RANKED
A phone photo of a 4 mm insect is often genuinely ambiguous, and an app that pretends otherwise is lying to you. Beetly shows every likely match with a real confidence score — and then helps you settle it.
QUESTIONS THAT NARROW IT DOWN
This is what makes Beetly different. You saw things the camera never captured. How many legs did it have — six or eight? Did it fly? How big was it? Which room? Each answer instantly re-ranks the matches and rules candidates out. Beetly even asks the most informative question first.
TELL THE LOOK-ALIKES APART
Bed bug or carpet beetle larva? Flying ant or termite? House centipede or something worse? For every confusable pair there's the one decisive thing to check, written so anyone can use it.
A REAL REFERENCE LIBRARY
117 species with the things that matter: size, legs, wings, where they live, when they're active, whether they bite, what to do about them, and what they're quietly doing for you. Ladybirds, lacewings and house spiders are on your side, and Beetly makes the case for them. Works offline.
