Pest detection device and pest outbreak forecasting system

Abstract

The present invention provides a pest detection device that can detect pests simply and with high accuracy, and a pest outbreak forecasting system that can predict pest outbreaks simply and with high accuracy. [Solution] The device does not have a mechanism for capturing or killing pests, and consists of a pest attracting unit 2, an imaging unit 3, a temperature measuring unit 4a, a humidity measuring unit 4b, and a solar cell unit 6. The pest attracting unit 2 consists of a pheromone agent 21, a protective member 22, and a background plate 23. The imaging unit 3 is equipped with an infrared sensor 31 and acquires imaging data of the pest 9 each time it is photographed. The imaging data includes shooting date and time data 5a, location information data 5b, and image data 5c. The temperature measuring unit 4a measures the temperature, and the humidity measuring unit 4b measures the humidity. The imaging data transmission unit 5 of the imaging unit 3 transmits the temperature data and humidity data, linked to the imaging data, to a server 7 outside the device.
