On your dashboard: `admin/reports/web_crawlers` will show web crawlers for the past 30 days. Hovering over each crawler temporarily shows the full description for each without having to export the list. Change to view the past day using the calendar on the upper right and click Refresh.  
So far in the past 24 hours I had 3 crawlers (the 1st is the worst):  
PetalBot - [petalsearch.com/bot/petalbot](http://petalsearch.com/bot/petalbot) - 4 views  
GPTBot - [openai.com/gptbot](http://openai.com/gptbot) - 3 views  
— - (no description) - 1 view

Over the course of 30 days, PetalBot crawls the most, followed by Yandex.
