Abstract
An emergence apparatus may include a container, a sensor, and a shutter. The sensor may be positioned proximate to an opening in the container to detect an adult insect entering or exiting the container. The sensor may also determine a sex of the adult insect. The shutter may also be positioned proximate to the opening to the container and may include an open position and a closed position to control access to the container in response to determining the sex of the adult insect or in response to determining a total number of adult insects of a particular sex within the container.
