Autonomous camera traps for insects provide a tool for long-term remote monitoring of insects. These systems bring together cameras, computer vision, and autonomous infrastructure such as solar panels, mini computers, and data telemetry to collect images of insects.
With increasing recognition of the importance of insects as the dominant component of almost all ecosystems, there are growing concerns that insect biodiversity has declined globally, with serious consequences for the ecosystem services on which we all depend.
Automated camera traps for insects offer one of the best practical and cost-effective solutions for more standardised monitoring of insects across the globe. However, to realise this we need interdisciplinary teams who can work together to develop the hardware systems, AI components, metadata standards, data analysis, and much more.
This WILDLABS group has been set up by people from around the world who have individually been tackling parts of this challenge and who believe we can do more by working together.
We hope you will become part of this group where we share our knowledge and expertise to advance this technology.
Check out Tom's Variety Hour talk for an introduction to this group.
Learn about Autonomous Camera Traps for Insects by checking out recordings of our webinar series:
- Hardware design of camera traps for moth monitoring
- Assessing the effectiveness of these autonomous systems in real-world settings, and comparing results with traditional monitoring methods
- Designing machine learning tools to process camera trap data automatically
- Developing automated camera systems for monitoring pollinators
- India-focused projects on insect monitoring

Hi Andrew,
this is great!
Did you consider the Witty Pi 4 L3V7 Real Time Clock (RTC) und Power Management Modul für Raspberry Pi?
(This one has no included battery) or the one with the capacitor?
Greetings from Austria,
Robin
28 June 2024 3:39pm
A fantastic solution @hikinghack ! Those Pijuice boards are more expensive than the pis themselves!
It already sounds as if you've gotten the power use in sleep down a long way, but I thought I'd mention the Adafruit TPL5110 timer boards. They get draw down to around 20uA. They are limited to a 2-hour max interval so won't be useful for applications that only wake up once or twice a day etc., unless you write a script with something like a counter to count off multiples of wake up times. They are also controlled by resistors, so the timing won't always be perfect. When it's finished, our TimeLord board will allow a lot more sophisticated scheduling, be precise and I am pretty confident it won't cost anything like the juice! If you'd like to take some for a spin when they are ready just let me know (and same for anybody else).
I really like that pis and some Arduino's are including RTCs now (although the Arduino R4 internal RTC is crystal-less so might not be super accurate, not sure about the Giga)...makes things that little bit easier and less expensive.
Well done on the great solve!
Cheers,
Rob

Thank you for the detailed post. This is amazing!
Have you experimented with ways of reducing power consumption? How much of the power is used by the LEDs vs the RPi? You could try having the LEDs on for less time, or less bright.
Julian
4 June 2024 7:54pm
The LEDs use most of the energy, the UV leds are about 12-15 watts. the pi hangs out around 3 watts. and the white flashing LEDs use about 10 watts each, but we reduced their time to like .8 seconds for a flash photo, so they aren't as much of a big deal.
you basically need a lot of power to make a really bright thing to attract the bugs, but we are testing out some more efficient UV leds
5 June 2024 10:23pm
I was thinking that you might be able to reduce the amount of time the lights were on by blinking them, but this paper seems to show that flickering mostly reduces the number of specimens attracted, though it affects some orders more than others, and, rarely, it increases the number attracted. On the other hand, the numbers of insects captures only seemed to go down by around 50% even with quite extreme flickering (10% duty cycle I.e. light only on 10% of the time) and if that had a big effect on how long the battery lasted it might be worth it, as you could run more capturing sessions between charges.

Insect cameras in The Inventory
1 May 2024 9:26pm

Hey @JakeBurton , nice work with The Inventory!
This is very aligned with some internal efforts going on in our community to map out devices, but also data and models eventually. It would be great if we find a way to make this two interoperable. We are still in the (very) alpha development phases, so it is quite open, but it would be super helpful to have some insight about the under-the-hood data structure that The Inventory is relying on, so we can figure out good ways to reliably map or info onto them.
Happy to chat further or set up a meeting!
@qgeissmann👀
3 May 2024 2:13pm
Thanks very much @LucaPego! Just to clarify, 'Products' does cover hardware, but it also includes software and databases as well. Basically anything that you can take and use in your work. Sounds like we should also be including models in that as well!
It would be great to see more databases and software listed and reviewed on there. We would also be interested to learn more about your internal efforts in your community and what overlap there is for sure. Could we set up a meeting?

Already an update from @hikinghack:
19 April 2024 12:00pm
Yeah we got it about as bare bones as possible for this level of photo resolution and duration in the field. The main costs right now are:
Pi- $80
Pijuice -$75
Battery - $85
64mp Camera - $60
which lands us at $300 already. But we might be able to eliminate that pijuice and have fewer moving parts, and cut 1/4 of our costs! Compared to something like just a single logitech brio camera that sells for $200 and only gets us like 16mp, we are able to make this thing as cheap as we could figure out! :)

We did some more testing with the Mothbeam in the forest. It's the height of dry season right now, so not many moths came out, but the mothbeam shined super bright and attracted a whole bunch of really tiny things that swarmed a lot

![](/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled_5.jpg)
and some nocturnal bees
![](/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled_6.jpg)
you could also see the mothbeam's aura from far away in the forest! so that was impressive!
![](/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled_7.jpg)
I also tested out attaching a 12V USB booster cable to the Mothbeam, and it works
nice! So you can attach regular USB 5V battery packs to the mothbeam as well!

And finally for now, the object detectors are wrapped by a python websocket network wrapper to make it easy for the system to use different types of object detectors. Usually, it's about 1/2 a day for me to write a new python wrapper for a new object detector type. You just need to wrap in the network connection and make it conform to the yolo way of expressing the hits, i.e. the json format that yolo outputs with bounding boxes, class names and confidence level.
What's more, you can even use multiple object detector models in different parts of a single captured image and you can cascade the logic to require multiple object detectors to match for example, or a choice from different object detectors.
It's the perfect anti-poaching system (If I say so myself :) )
10 January 2024 11:47pm
Hey @kimhendrikse , thanks for all these details. I just caught up. I like your approach of supporting multiple object detectors and using the python websockets wrapper! Is your code available somewhere?

Yep, here:
Currently it only installs on older Jetsons as in the coming weeks I’ll finish the install code for current jetsons.
Technically speaking, if you were an IT specialist you could even make it work in wsl2 Ubuntu on windows, but I haven’t published instructions for that. If you were even more of a specialist you wouldn’t need wsl2 either. One day I’ll publish instructions for that once I’ve done it. Though it would be slow unless the windows machine had an NVidia GPU and you PyTorch work with it.

Great work! I'm always amaze about the tool available online and what people with knowledge are succeding to developp great application.
Just to go even further, could you export the croppped images directly into a species recognition algorithm (like the one use in inaturalist) to classify the species? or upload them directly on inaturalist?
it could be a nice tool for insect inventory for none specialist.
Best,
