Every bot that lands is filed under one of five orders, by what it does. It keeps the product name from its user agent as its common name and gains a two-part Latin name. Each is drawn the way its name sounds, and the line under a drawing is a joke about the drawing, not a claim about the bot. What a bot actually did here is in the counts beside it.
Counts are read from the request log. Today is since 00:00 UTC. 30 days is today and the 29 days before it. A session that fails Customs is counted under Googlebot (unverified), never under the name it used. This is the working list for Edition 1: names and drawings can change before an edition fixes them.
