Hi Goat Ribs, The app is for Australian waterbugs only, but it should be comprehensive. Let us know what you think is missing. We require photos for data validation purposes, so they aren't optional: the app feeds data into the National Waterbug Blitz citizen science program. If you want a quick ID there is the "Identify" option on the home page.
