About Animal Identification
Whether you've spotted a bird at your feeder, found an unfamiliar insect, or encountered an animal on a hike, Spotter can identify it from a photo. The app covers thousands of species across birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, arachnids, and aquatic life.
Each identification includes behavioral notes, habitat preferences, seasonal range information, and conservation status. For birders, Spotter is a fast field companion — and previously identified results are cached so you can revisit them without a connection.
Tips for Better Identification
- For birds, try to capture the whole body — beak shape, wing markings, and tail pattern are all important.
- For insects, photograph both the top and underside when possible.
- Mammal tracks and scat can also be identified — use the "Other" category.
- For fast-moving wildlife, burst mode gives you better identification photos.
