Spider Identifier AI

Spider identifier for the one in your bath. Photograph a spider to identify the species and find out whether it is venomous or harmless.

IDENTIFY HOUSE SPIDERS

This spider identifier names the species from a photo and tells you whether it bites. It covers house spiders, cellar spiders, jumping spiders, wolf spiders, orb weavers, huntsman spiders and the harmless species most often mistaken for something worse.

WIDOW AND RECLUSE CHECKS

The two groups people most want ruled out get specific attention. A true widow has a red hourglass on the underside of the abdomen; false widows are browner with a pale pattern on top and no hourglass.

IS IT A SPIDER BITE?

Often it is not. Doctors report that suspected spider bites are frequently bacterial skin infections instead. A wound that spreads, weeps or comes with fever needs a doctor whatever caused it.

EGG SACS AND WEBS

The app identifies egg sacs and reads web architecture, both of which narrow identification quickly.

Covers household and garden spiders across Europe, North America and Australia.
