Mothbox 4.0


The Mothbox is a low cost DIY insect monitor

It features a power efficient and lightweight design meant to help field biologists deploy it in the depths of the jungles, and its low-cost nature means you can build one to study the biodiversity at your home! The problem with this type of “Mothlighting” is that it can be incredibly time consuming (a scientist has to hang out all night and note which insects are visiting). Then it triggers an insect lure (usually a bright UV light) and then takes ultra-high resolution photos of the visitors it attracts.
