Picture Insect: Bug Identifier 4+

Very great app even without subscription!

Although without buying a subscription, you get many popups, you can easily press “continue with limited version”. I’m considering buying a subscription because I use this app so often as a gardener! For example, today I was able to identify some green lacewing larvae that were helping my garden rid of aphids. I’ve successfully identified many insects on this app and it even helped me realize that the butterflies I was finding weren’t painted ladies, but a different species. I really love using this and learning more and more about bugs. I’ve been able to identify so many spiders including crab spiders, orb weavers and a species of harvestmen I didn’t even know existed! This app also has all ladybug identifications and has helped me identify many different species. I cannot recommend this app enough.

For those saying this app doesn’t give enough information about species- you can always look them up and learn more as well as how to deal with pests. (It’s what I do!) I use this app to get my identifications and then do further research.

I also love how you can look back on all your identifications and pictures you have. It really feels like you have your own little collection made by you.

Helped my identify fruit flies

I had a bunch of small flying bugs in the kitchen & bathrooms and didn't know what they were. I thought fruit flies but I've searched the house high and low and haven't found any rotten fruit or anything so I have no idea where they're spawning from. Seems like from thin air because when I kill one two or three more appear. I thought maybe I was wrong about what it was so I downloaded this app and was able to scan one after killing one. The app did identify it as a fruit fly but most importantly it gave some helpful information on what the cause is and several options for treating them other than the fruit fly traps I've been using. This app is great.

Update: this app is still super helpful. I have bi monthly pest control service treat my property but I found a random dead bug I have never seen before so I was able to scan and identify that it was an American cockroach (yuck). I’ve never had cockroaches before in my 29 years of life or at this specific property in the 7 years I’ve lived here so luckily thanks to this app I can inform my pest control service and get on top of it. The last thing I want or need is a roach infestation.

2 years together

I’ve been tricked 2 times into purchasing your app for a year. Apple is so resourceful I think it’s apple that’s decides to pick a one year plan for a low income senior, then it takes me months to get over it. I know one things for sure I’ve never choose a year for any app and I found out today it’s not legal for money to be taken from my acct without my authorization. There are very few apps I’d need to have longer than the free trial. But unless I choose to keep the app and check mark for one year apple can’t legally go in and take the money. In your situation I’ve been taken for the money because I forgot to delete it not because I choose to keep it. If it’s in my power I will file against apple just for the money they’ve taken and led me to believe it was right. I’m a senior I forget sometimes but I never choose weekly, monthly or yearly. Anyone who will give me my money back I won’t list for the lawyer and if I forgot it you’d have proof for court you paid it back. But appearing in court for taking from a senior isn’t something I’d want to advertise my business with. Anna
