PollenTrace identifies insects and pollinators from a photo in seconds — and turns every sighting into data that tracks the health of Britain's pollinator populations.

Features
Point your camera at any insect. Get a confident identification in under three seconds, with honest uncertainty — we'll tell you when a genus is as far as we can go.
See what's been spotted near you this week. Seasonal patterns, recent rarities, and what to look for in your specific region — all filtered to what's actually flying now.
Track pollinator diversity in your garden over time. PollenTrace builds a picture of your garden's contribution to local ecosystems — and tells you how to improve it.
Every sighting logged. Every species found. A personal record of everything you've encountered — sortable by season, location, and species type.
Your sightings contribute to a real scientific dataset. Researchers and conservation bodies use your data to track population health across the UK and Europe.
Get notified when a species rarely seen in your area is spotted nearby. Be in the right place at the right time — for the ones worth looking for.
How it works
Point your phone at any insect — in your garden, on a walk, through a window. You don't need a perfect shot. We work with what you've got.
Our AI cross-references your photo against a database of 800+ verified UK and European species. You get a name, confidence level, and key facts — instantly.
One tap and it's recorded — with location, date, and time. No forms, no friction. Your garden's pollinator history builds itself.
Your sighting joins thousands of others on the PollenTrace population map — real data, used by real researchers tracking the pollinator crisis.
The data
PollenTrace doesn't just identify insects. It builds the most detailed, real-time picture of pollinator populations in the UK and Europe — contributed by people like you, used by scientists and conservationists who need it.
The data is georeferenced, timestamped, and species-verified. It's the kind of dataset that takes university fieldwork teams years to compile. With PollenTrace, it happens continuously, everywhere, all year round.
We're building PollenTrace with early supporters who care about what's happening to Britain's pollinators. Join the waitlist and help shape what we build.
