1. A system for tracking airborne organisms, comprising: an imager having an image resolution and a field of view; a backlight source configured to be placed in the field of view of the imager; a processor configured to analyze one or more images captured by the imager including at least a portion of the backlight source, the processor being configured to identify a biological property of an organism in the field of view of the imager using at least one datum selected from the group consisting of characteristic frequency, harmonic amplitude, shape, size, airspeed, ground speed, and location; and a detector configured to detect an organism in the field of view of the imager, wherein at least one of the imager and the detector is configured to collect color data and to use the collected color data to determine a probable engorgement status of the organism.
