iPhone
Snap a real bug, find out what it is, and watch it come to life in 3D right in your room. A safe, ad-free field guide for curious kids.
There's a bug right outside your door, and it has a secret. BuggyBox turns any walk, garden, or playground into a treasure hunt — point the camera at a creepy-crawly and watch it come to life.
SNAP IT
Spot a bug, frame it, tap. BuggyBox figures out what it is — ladybug or roly-poly, dragonfly or shield bug — across 20 kinds of backyard bugs.
DISCOVER IT
Every find bursts onto the screen with its name and amazing true facts. Did you know a ladybug can eat 5,000 aphids in its lifetime? Or that butterflies taste with their feet? Every fact can be read aloud, so even pre-readers can explore on their own.
COLLECT THEM ALL
Each catch lands in your child's Bug Box with their own photo of the moment — where they found it, and when. Fill the field guide, earn badges, and hunt for the rare and legendary finds. A new Bug of the Day gives explorers a reason to head back outside tomorrow.
WATCH THEM COME ALIVE
Place any bug from your collection in your room with AR mode and watch it wander around. Give it a poke — it wiggles.

Ratings & Reviews
Squashed a rare crash some devices hit at launch, made the "See it in your room" 3D bugs appear faster. Happy bug hunting!
