Description

This app applies a neural network model to identify species present in photos. The neural network has been trained on images collected in New Zealand via iNaturalist. Classification of species is performed on-device.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This app cannot reliably identify invasive species that were not included in its training data — for example, the Asian hornet (Vespa velutina). If such a species is submitted, the app may either:

Refuse classification with a message like “Confidence too low”

Misclassify the specimen as a similar-looking species with low or moderate confidence

For instance, an Asian hornet may be incorrectly identified as a Common European Yellowjacket (Vespula vulgaris), German Yellowjacket (Vespula germanica), or Australian Paper Wasp (Polistes humilis), with a confidence score between 40% and 80%.

Training Data Cutoff:

No observations uploaded to iNaturalist after 30 August 2023 were used to train the model.

Recent changes:
This is a re-release, with some very small changes to the text in the user interface, of the app that used to be available on the WaikatoLink Google Play store (which was closed down because WaikatoLink no longer exists).

Comments on Aotearoa Species Classifier for Android

★★★★★ Yvonne Matthews · Jan 3, 2026

Very useful especially for native plants and insects

★★★★★ Josh Foster · Sep 21, 2025

Shockingly good ID estimates. Best for providing or degrading confidence in a suspected ID, orienting your investigations in a productive direction or jogging the memory when names escape you in the field. Valuable for a range of audiences and for getting you to a place where you can confirm with your own brain and an authoritative source.
