Not Professional Advice
Our AI-powered insect identification tool is designed as a helpful reference, not a substitute for professional entomological, medical, veterinary, or pest control advice. If you encounter a bite, sting, or infestation that concerns you, please consult a qualified professional directly.
AI Identification Accuracy
Our artificial intelligence identifies insects based on visual features in the images you upload. While modern AI models are highly accurate, no identification system is perfect. Results should be treated as best-effort suggestions, and critical decisions (such as treating a suspected venomous spider bite) should never rely solely on AI output.
