Mothbox Insect Monitoring
Home | Mothbox
The Mothbox is a low-cost, high-performance insect monitor. It features a power efficient and lightweight design that helps field biologists deploy it in the depths of the jungle.
The Mothbox is an incredibly cool little DIY project for insect monitoring. It comes with open source software for identifying, grouping, and labeling insects. It is essentially a tiny computer and software package with a camera, looking at a white sheet and a lamp overnight. The camera tracks the insects that land on the sheet and records them in a database for further analysis. Very simple, very cool. Check it out!
