Abstract
An apparatus for determining an index of insect biodiversity comprises a plurality of optical insect sensor devices configured to be individually positioned within a geographic area and a data processing system. Each sensor device is configured to monitor insect activity within a detection volume by detecting light from the detection volume, and to output detector data indicative of one or more optically detected attributes associated with respective detected insect detection events. Each insect detection event is indicative of one or more insects being present in the detection volume. The data processing system is configured to receive detector data from respective ones of the plurality of optical insect sensor devices. The detector data is indicative of one or more optically detected attributes associated with respective detected insect detection events. The system computes, from the received detector data, an index of insect biodiversity indicative of insect biodiversity within the geographic area.
