Device for releasing insects from an aerial vehicle and use thereof

A system for releasing insects from an aerial vehicle, the system comprising:

• a device for releasing insects from an aerial vehicle, the device comprising
• an insect lodging chamber configured to hold insects, the chamber comprising a chamber wall defining an inner volume of the chamber, a chamber inlet, a chamber outlet and a one or more of movable shelves, each shelf is attached, at a first end thereof, to an inner surface of the chamber wall, wherein each shelf has an expanded configuration and a folded configuration, wherein in the expanded configuration a shelf is extended across the chamber, wherein a second end of said shelf does not contact an opposing inner surface of the chamber, so as to facilitate free move of the insects between two sections of the chamber formed by the shelf,
• an insect dispersion unit comprising:
• a converging air duct comprising an air flow inlet and an air flow outlet, wherein the chamber outlet is connected to a converged section of air duct, such that air flowing from air flow inlet to air flow outlet creates a pressure drop, which induces suction of insects from chamber, through chamber outlet, into air duct and out of the device through air flow outlet;
• and
• a controller functionally associated with each shelf, for controlling the configuration thereof, and
• an unmanned aerial vehicle.
