Description

Made to assist Taxonomists and workers in natural history collections, BioDex aims to empower people who want to contribute to the process of sorting and archiving museum specimens. After photographing a specimen, the app displays a list of the most similar species along with example images for cross reference.

We are currently focused on identifying species of Butterflies but are working adding more families of Lepidoptera and other Insect groups in the future.

HIGHLIGHTS
- specifically designed use in collections
- fast identification results
- ergonomic layout for repeated use
- active development to add new species and taxonomic groups

While it seems like a wonderful app you need an invite code

I downloaded this app in order to try and find useful apps for insect identification and while this was my most promising app you unfortunately need an invite code, while it is somewhat understandable there is no clear way on how to get invited into this app which I am very disappointed about. This app’s overall presentation is really nice and seems to be user friendly from what I have seen.
