Method and system for recording and/or monitoring populations of insects

Abstract

Disclosed are a system (10) and a method used for the detection and/or monitoring of insect populations (16), in which insects (16) of at least one defined genus are attracted, at least temporarily retained within a defined compartment (12), and sensed and/or analyzed with regard to definable features (14). The invention comprises: features or method steps, as appropriate: attracting the defined genus of insects (16) within a definable spatial vicinity (20) with an attracting stimuli (22); transferring the attracted insects (16) into a defined compartment interior (12) while preventing, at least for a definable time interval, an inadvertent escape, at least of a large number of the insects (16); detecting specific features (14) of the insects (16) with a sensor unit (26); transmitting sensor signals (30) supplied by the sensor unit (26) to an electronic analysis device and/or evaluation device (28) disposed downstream from the sensor unit (26).
