LabelBug - The easiest way to generate labels for insect specimens... right from where you collect, or right from a map location. Designed by an entomologist, for entomologists.
LabelBug is the must-have tool for collectors, students, and researchers who need quick, accurate, and professional insect labels—right from your iPhone or iPad. Dare we say, LabelBug makes label-making fun!
Why LabelBug?
• Lightning-fast label creation – Use your current GPS location or select a map location to auto-populate locality data. Quickly enter other standard label information, and LabelBug auto-formats beautiful labels.
• No more hand-written field labels followed by manual label creation. Label your container/vial, identify it in LabelBug, and you're ready to print the moment you get home.
• Smart formatting – Your labels are automatically sized to comply with standard labelling techniques.
• Batch-saving – Group multiple specimens under the same note with individual label counts (e.g., 'Vial #1', x4 labels).
• Preview before printing – See exactly how your labels will look at two size options.
• PDF & CSV export – Export your labels for quick printing or custom edits.
Other Features:
• Save field sites for quick access to new labels.
• Render italics for species names.
• Edit, archive, or delete label batches as needed.
• iCloud backup (if enabled).
Whether you're managing research samples or beginning a new hobby, LabelBug takes the busywork out of labeling and lets you focus on discovery, collection of accurate scientific data, and having fun.
Simple. Time-saving. Game-changing.
