Insect Orders (link below) is an Android application for basic insect ID.

I tried this application and have found that it is very accurate for identifying insects up to the 'order' level. Hopefully this will enable everyone to do basic insect ID'ing. I would recommend having 1:1 macro images of the subject from as many angles as possible for best results using this app. Along with serving as an ID aid, the app also has concise information on all known insect groups along with example images.
Note that a little basic knowledge of insect anatomy is required (It is easy to get a hang of this after using the app a couple of times with any common insect as reference :))

Abhishek,
Is it only an android application or do we have other versions? I am sure people with android phones will be able to use it.
Cheers,

It is currently available only for Android. I really wish this was available on more common platforms like J2ME and Windows... that would have been great.
