A system comprising,

• an application running on a processor of a mobile device, the application receiving a query image, wherein the application is communicatively coupled with one or more applications running on at least one processor of at least one remote server;
• the application providing the query image to the one or more applications, the one or more applications processing the query image to identify a query type corresponding to the query image, wherein the query type comprises a plurality of species;
• using a query type recognition engine corresponding to the query type to process the query image, wherein the one or more applications include the query type recognition engine, the processing the query image including identifying at least one species corresponding to the query image;
• providing training images to the one or more applications for each combination of query type and species of the plurality of species to train the query type recognition engine in identifying the at least one species;
• the one or more applications providing information of the at least one species to the application, wherein the application displays the information of the at least one species.
