In some embodiments, methods and systems of identifying at least one pest in a crop-containing area include an unmanned vehicle including a visible light video camera configured to detect a pest in the crop-containing area and to capture first pest detection data and an infrared video camera configured to detect a pest in the crop-containing area and to capture second pest detection data. A computing device including a processor-based control circuit and configured to communicate with the unmanned vehicle is configured to receive the first pest detection data and the second pest detection data via the network from the UAV, and, in response to receipt of the first and second pest detection data from the UAV, the control circuit of the computing device is configured to combine the first and second pest detection data to create a combined pest detection data, which in turn enables the control circuit of the computing device to determine an identity of the pest based on the pest identity data and the combined pest detection data.
