spider identifier app for iPhone
Spider Identifier analyzes a photo and suggests a match for spiders and common household pests such as ticks, roaches, bed bugs and termites. Use the result to guide further research, not to diagnose a bite or decide whether medical care is needed.
Quick answer
Photograph the spider without touching or cornering it, then upload the clearest image to Spider Identifier. The app compares visible features and suggests a match, but similar species, juvenile spiders and poor images can produce the wrong result.
How it works
The app handles the fast first pass. You keep control of the final check, especially when condition, safety or accuracy matters.
Keep hands away, do not disturb a web and use zoom rather than moving closer.
Include the body, legs and markings when they are visible from a safe position.
Compare the result with location and size, then ask a local expert when safety matters.
