Insect forecasting comes to UBC Vancouver campus this summer

a fruit fly

This summer, researchers plan to set up 60-70 unique cameras across the UBC Vancouver campus and the UBC Farm. The cameras, known as Sticky Pi, combine optics and a sticky trap. They catch bugs and take pictures of them. Computers then use artificial intelligence to determine exactly what the insects are, and where and when they were trapped in real-time. The researchers plan to deploy the camera system across Vancouver in 2023.
