Bug identification FAQ

Is this a bug bite diagnosis tool?

No. This tool identifies visible insects, not bites, rashes, or medical conditions.

Can it tell if an insect is a pest?

Results may include whether a matched insect is commonly considered a household or plant pest, with appropriate uncertainty.

What photo works best?

Photograph the insect from above in good light. A side view and a size reference can help when the first result is uncertain.
