Identification of insects in flight is a particular challenge for ecologists in several settings with no other method able to count and classify insects at the pace of entomological lidar.

We found that the specificity of both tests is very high in our data sample (>99. 7%), while the sensitivity of PCR sampling was estimated to be 95. 7% (95% CI: 92. 8-98. 4%) and that of the antigen test kits used in Denmark over the study period was estimated at 53. 8% (95% CI: 49. 8-57. 9%).
