How our guides about insects and other bugs are made
How the identification guides and real examples about insects and other bugs on this site are made.
AI-assisted drafting, human curation
Our guides start from structured research into real questions about insects and other bugs. Drafts are written with the help of AI writing tools, and the Bug Identifier team curates every page before it is published — with particular attention to leg count, wing shape, and body segmentation, the clues our readers rely on most.
Images
Hero and inline illustrations in our guides about insects and other bugs are AI-generated unless a caption says otherwise. They are meant to illustrate leg count, wing shape, and body segmentation, not to document a specific real item.
Limits and honest claims
Photo-based identification of insects and other bugs narrows down possibilities; it does not certify, appraise, or authenticate. Where a guide touches on value, safety, or authenticity, we point readers to a qualified professional for a final answer.
