A mostly black cicada with transparent wings clinging to a pillar. A bright yellow stripe runs down the head and body of the cicada.

A Kikihi Cicada (genus Kikihia) spotted at Milford Sound / Piopiotahi on 27 Dec 2025. This genus of cicada is mostly endemic to New Zealand.

InsectSet459: an open dataset of insect sounds for bioacoustic machine learning Automatic recognition of insect sound could help us understand changing biodiversity trends around the world -- but insect sounds are challenging to recognize even for deep learning. We present a new dataset comprised of 26399 audio files, from 459 species of Orthoptera and Cicadidae. It is the first large-scale dataset of insect sound that is easily applicable for developing novel deep-learning methods. Its recordings were made with a variety of audio recorders using varying sample rates to capture the extremely broad range of frequencies that insects produce. We benchmark performance with two state-of-the-art deep learning classifiers, demonstrating good performance but also significant room for improvement in acoustic insect classification. This dataset can serve as a realistic test case for implementing insect monitoring workflows, and as a challenging basis for the development of audio representation methods that can handle highly variable frequencies and/or sample rates.
