A quantitative survey of water scavenger beetles Sternolophus rufipes and Hydrochara affinis in paddy fields is essential not only for evaluating the impact of climate change on ecosystems but also for quantifying the stability
of paddy fields. Many researchers classify insects in insect traps visually and manually count the number of individuals in each species. This manual survey method is time-consuming, fatiguing, and tedious. In this paper,
we present a simple method to classify and count beetles in noisy trap images. The proposed method uses the beetles' body size and spots made by the light reflecting off the backs of beetles.
