My colleagues study plant-pollinator networks. Insect (pollinator) identification is a task that requires a lot of effort.
I would like to know if there are already good enough trained or trainable models to identify pollinators (insects) from mobile phone images taken in the field (possibly, a close-up photo of the insect on a flower). Identification to family level would be good enough for their research. Maybe for some easy to identify insects, identification to specie level would be also possible.
Note that, I could find few articles that provide code (e.g. a GitHub repository with the model and workflows), but they are mostly focused on using sharp, good quality, close-up images taken in the lab from insect collections, with the goal to identify insects to species level, e.g:
