What it does

01

Point, snap, collect

Photograph a bug, tap what kind it is, and the app suggests the matching species — identified on your phone, never in the cloud. Confirm it and it joins your collection, original photo and all.

02

A real field guide

186 common European species across ten groups — butterflies, moths, beetles, bees, dragonflies and more — with real photographs, sizes, habitats, and fun facts. Undiscovered species stay teasingly silhouetted.

03

Points, rarity, ranks

Common finds earn steady points; rare and super-rare ones earn glory. Climb 18 explorer ranks from Curious Beginner to Legendary Entomologist.

04

Local flavour, zero location

Pick your province — Dalarna, Bayern, anywhere across Europe — and see which bugs are local favourites. No GPS, ever: the app never knows where you are, only where you say you like to explore.


Safe for the youngest explorers.

BugQuest has no accounts, no ads, no chat, no tracking, and no location access. Photos and the collection stay on the device, and identification happens on the phone itself. Built kids-first — nothing is collected from anyone.
