This research demonstrates CNNs improve mosquito species identification accuracy, addressing dataset biases.

The developed classification system achieved an average balanced accuracy of 98.3% in identifying mosquito taxa.
The CNN models effectively distinguished 21 mosquito taxa, even among morphologically similar pairs.
A large dataset of 14,888 mosquito wing images was utilized, highlighting the robust preprocessing pipeline's role.
The framework offers potential for vector surveillance in resource-limited settings, despite existing dataset biases.

Nolte et al. (2025) studied this question.
