Must-Have Apps for Butterfly Enthusiasts
Butterflies make the world beautiful. If you love these gorgeous creatures, we have some apps to recommend to you!
Although I am not a butterfly collector, I do love them. I also find identifying different kinds of insects to be fascinating. There are a couple of apps that allow you to take a picture of insects, such as butterflies, and use that picture to identify them. One of my fellow writers has recommended one of them below, and that's the one that I use personally. Whether you have found a beautiful new butterfly in the area or you have found something that makes you make a face and go, "Eww, what's that?" it's a great addition to your phone. Yes, it costs a yearly subscription, but to me, it's very worth it. It works out to less than $1 per week.
If you're not feeling the love for identifying creepy crawlies and you'd rather see your butterflies on the screen, thank you very much, don't worry. We have some suggestions for you that don't involve getting up close to potentially biting, stinging, or buzzing insects.
If you are looking for a butterfly related game, Butterfly Garden Mystery is a fun match-3 game you can choose from. It's very colorful and a great pick for people who love butterflies and puzzle games. And, if you can't get enough of adult coloring books, there's an Adult Coloring Pages app that you must check out.
Finally, if you love butterflies and you want to fill your life with them, first fill your phone with them. Take a lot of pictures and check out the apps that offer butterfly stickers, wallpaper, and even a butterfly keyboard. With the right apps, you can have the brightest and more colorful phone or tablet around full of your hobby.

Schools don't teach us nearly enough about the natural world. Identifying butterflies is definitely not a part of the curriculum. This app lets you point your camera at any insect, snap a picture, and use AI to find a match among over 1,000 cataloged species. It even has a thriving community of enthusiasts you can consult.

If you are interested in learning about the butterflies that are in your area, whether you are 8 or 80 or somewhere in between, this is a handy app to have. It helps you ID them and tells you about them. I recently discovered this app and though it's fall and the butterflies aren't around anymore, I love looking through it and see other people's discoveries and trying it out come spring.

I find this tool instrumental in easily identifying the butterflies that you sight. With it, you get to spend about 15 minutes in nature and get to save butterflies at the same time. It has an ID guide that helps to identify more than 19 butterfly species.
