Summary:623192 Illustrative embodiments of integrated pest management (IPM) systems (10) and electronic insect monitoring devices (EIMDs) (12) are disclosed. In some embodiments, the EIMDs (12) may each comprise a lure for attracting at least one target insect species, one or more sensors that generate one or more output signals in response to an insect approaching the lure, and an electronic controller configured to determine if the insect approaching the lure belongs to the at least one target insect species using the one or more output signals. In some embodiments, the IPM system (10) may comprise a plurality of EIMDs (12) configured to communicate over a wireless mesh network shared by the plurality of EIMDs (12). A single EIMD may communicate directly with a first subset of other EIMDs, and indirectly (via a multi-hop connection) with another subset of EIMDs.
