A cyclone separation system (1) for separating live insects, comprising a discharge nozzle (5) having a discharge end (7) comprising a discharge channel (8) for discharging live insects from the cyclone separation system (1) when in use. The discharge channel (8) comprises primary air injection channels (11) arranged to provide an injected upstream air flow (F) in an upstream direction (U) back into the discharge nozzle (5) for stopping discharge of live insects. The discharge nozzle (5) comprises an inner wall part (12) extending between an intake end (6) of the discharge nozzle (5) and the discharge channel (8), wherein the inner wall part (12) comprises elongated secondary air injection channels (13) extending from the discharge channel (8) in the upstream direction (U), wherein the secondary air injection channels (13) are arranged to provide an injected lateral air flow (V) along the inner wall part (12).

A package, method and arrangement for insect farming. The package is filled with a predetermined quantity of insects, and includes a package body; and a package closure configured to close the package body to prevent the insects from escaping from the package. The closed package body is configured to open at least partially under at least one of: at least one predetermined environmental condition, or in an event of consumption by the insects in the package body in order to release the insects.

An apparatus for growing arthropods including a case where a plurality of cells are housed. Each cell includes a hollow body defining a compartment configured for containing a substrate for supporting arthropods. Each cell, in an engagement condition with the case, rotates with respect to the case for mixing the substrate.

Disclosed are various embodiments for a data collection apparatus that is configured to detect, count, and/or identify organisms and their characteristics from a media item (e.g., an image, a video, etc.) of one or more ecological environments. For example, a system can include a camera for capturing an image of an ecological environment and a computing device. The computing device can be configured to at least identify a triggering condition for the ecological environment and capture, using the camera, an image of the ecological environment based at least in part on the triggering condition. The computing device can determine a characteristic of an organism in the ecological environment based at least part in a machine learning model.
