More than a butterfly ID app
Most identifiers tell you a name and stop there. Snappit turns every butterfly walk into a collecting game the whole family plays together.
Caterpillars too
Kids’ favorite question: what will this caterpillar turn into? Snap the caterpillar and Snappit identifies the species, so you know which butterfly or moth to expect.
Collectible butterfly cards
Each identified butterfly becomes a Pokémon-style card with rarity tiers from common to legendary. Kids actually want to find one more.
Moths and more
Snappit identifies moths, dragonflies, beetles, and other insects too — plus birds, plants, and flowers, all in a single field guide.
