description This article presents a wireless sensor for pest detection, specifically the <i>Lobesia botrana</i> moth or vineyard moth. The wireless sensor consists of an acoustic-based detection of the sound generated by a flying <i>Lobesia botrana</i> moth. Once a <i>Lobesia botrana</i> moth is detected, the information about the time, geographical location of the sensor and the number of detection events is sent to a server that gathers the detection statistics in real-time. To detect the <i>Lobesia botrana</i>, its acoustic signal was previously characterized in a controlled environment, obtaining its power spectral density for the acoustic filter design. The sensor is tested in a controlled laboratory environment where the detection of the flying moths is successfully achieved in the presence of all types of environmental noises. Finally, the sensor is installed on a vineyard in a region where the moth has already been detected. The device is able to detect flying <i>Lobesia botrana</i> moths during its flying period, giving results that agree with traditional field traps.
