How bug identification works
1
Take a photo
Point your phone at the bug — on a leaf, a wall, or the sidewalk — and snap it in the app. Closer and steadier photos work best.
2

Snappit identifies the insect by photo and shows its name, scientific name, habitat, and fun facts written for young readers.
3
Collect the card
