N2 - This article presents a wireless sensor for pest detection, specifically the Lobesia botrana moth or vineyard moth. The wireless sensor consists of an acoustic‐based detection of the sound generated by a flying Lobesia botrana moth. Once a Lobesia botrana moth is detected, the information about the time, geographical location of the sensor and the number of detection events is sent to a server that gathers the detection statistics in real‐time. To detect the Lobesia botrana, its acoustic signal was previously characterized in a controlled environment, obtaining its power spectral density for the acoustic filter design. The sensor is tested in a controlled laboratory environment where the detection of the flying moths is successfully achieved in the presence of all types of environmental noises. Finally, the sensor is installed on a vineyard in a region where the moth has already been detected. The device is able to detect flying Lobesia botrana moths during its flying period, giving results that agree with traditional field traps.
