The standard list of UserAgents in Vbulletin is quite limited, but you can add to it easily. This list is fantastic:

I saw that plugin alright, but I was more interested in tracking them when I'm around
I've also added them to the activity section in the site footer

Go to the main page and have a look at the bottom of the page. You will see who is online. Instead of simply marking the bots as "guests" it tells you which spiders are currently online
