Abstract
A method for sex sorting of mosquitoes generally comprises the steps of: providing a plate that includes multiple wells, with each of the multiple wells configured to receive a mosquito; filling each of the multiple wells with a predetermined volume of water; placing a mosquito in each of the multiple wells; capturing an image of each mosquito in each of the multiple wells; and analyzing each image to determine if each mosquito is male or female. Mosquitoes have distinct anatomical areas for identification, which are captured in the images and are used to determine if a mosquito is male or female. Furthermore, in some implementations, there is an additional step of exterminating each mosquito that is determined to be female.
