Identify butterfly species using AI
Below is a free classifier to identify butterfly species. Just upload your image, and our AI will predict which species it is - in just seconds.
Make sure the image is a close-up of the butterfly.
How this classifier works
To start, upload your image. Our AI tool will then predict which species it is.
This pretrained image model uses the Butterfly & Moth Species Classification dataset and is built with 13000 samples across 100 labels, including Copper Tail, Mestra, and 98 more.
We'll also show a confidence score (the higher the number, the more confident the AI model is of which species it is).
Whether you’re a tech-minded lepidopterist, just curious, or building butterfly species detection into your application, we hope our classifier proves helpful.
