Abstract:

Herein we present a dataset of insect species obtained from a rapid insect survey conducted in Jingning She Autonomous County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. During the 3-day survey, a total of 443 species records were collected, covering insects from 15 orders. Insect photos collected were identified by XiaoChong AI, with identification results and confidence levels also documented in the dataset. Based on this dataset, we propose a method that integrates rapid surveys, photography, and AI identification technology to achieve regional insect biodiversity crowdsourced data collection. We also discuss the potential of reducing the cost of insect biodiversity surveys through public participation and AI technology, as well as the significance of data crowdsourcing in biological diversity research and conservation efforts.
