Datalogger Design for Bush-crickets

The Speckled Bush-cricket (Leptophyes punctatissima) is common in the south of the country but there are only 3 known colonies in Yorkshire. Monitoring of the insect is difficult because it lives at the top of trees and sings well above audio (40kHz).

This project will build dataloggers capable of detecting the singing of the male bush-crickets and log their activity as well as environmental parameters including temperature, light, relative humidity and GPS location.
