# Systema Machinae > A live census of the web's bots. Every bot that visits this site is logged and becomes a pixel-art creature on an island. Everything a creature does on the island is a request a bot really made here. The site is independent of the operators whose bots it lists. ## Pages - [Island](https://systemamachinae.com/): the live view - [Species](https://systemamachinae.com/species): the bots the site can name, one page each - [Rules](https://systemamachinae.com/rules): what the site asks of bots - [Census](https://systemamachinae.com/census): what has landed - [About](https://systemamachinae.com/about): how bots are identified and what is stored
