Abstract: A larvae counter comprising a first container for receiving water, eggs of insects and/or larvae, a second container in fluid communication with the first container for receiving water and larvae from the first container, and a larvae counting module in fluid communication with the second container for receiving water and larvae from the second container and counting the larvae.

Abstract: This invention relates to an insect detection device comprising a sensing device. The sensing device comprises an optical source configured to emit an optical beam; a first lens group configured to collimate the optical beam to form a beam width of a first predetermined range and a beam height of a second predetermined range; a second lens group configured to collect the optical beam from the first lens group and arranged apart from the first lens group defining a sensing zone; an optical detector configured to receive the beam from the second lens group and translate the beam to electrical signals; and a processing unit configured to switch on the optical source and receive the electrical signals from the optical detector.
