In some embodiments, methods and systems of identifying at least one pest based on crop damage detection in a crop-containing area include an unmanned vehicle including at least one sensor configuredto detect at least one type of pest damage on at least one crop in the crop-containing area and to capture pest damage data. An electronic database includes pest damage identity data associated with one or more crop-damaging pests, and a computing device communicates with the unmanned vehicle and the electronic database via a network. The unmanned vehicle transmits the captured pest damage data via the network to the computing device and, in response to receipt of the captured pest damage data from the unmanned vehicle, the computing device accesses the pest damage identity data on the electronic database to determine an identity of one or more pests responsible for the detected type of pest crop damage. 在一些实施例中，在包含农作物的区域中基于农作物破坏检测标识至少一个有害生物的方法和系统包括无人交通工具，该无人交通工具包括至少一个传感器，该传感器被配置为在包含农作物的区域中检测对至少一个农作物中的至少一类有害生物破坏并捕
