Check out this app from USDA APHIS ITP! Identifty species in the field from your smartphone or tablet.
"The USDA APHIS ITP team is pleased to announce the
latest addition to our mobile app collection: Antkey Mobile. Developed in
cooperation with the
tool’s author, Eli Sarnat, and
Australia’s Identic team, this app is based on ITP’s web-based tool, Antkey.
Lucid Mobile apps offer
you the identification keys you’ve come to rely on from the convenience of your
smartphone or tablet. Antkey Mobile (free for Android or iOS) allows you to take your Lucid key with you into the field for surveys
and screening, even if your field site lacks internet access.
This key allows
both specialists and novices to easily identify invasive, introduced, and commonly intercepted ant species from across
the globe. You can help confirm whether
you have found the correct species by comparing your specimen with the images
and descriptions on the fact sheets, which are included for each species."
