Fig 1. Representative example of an insect detection event observed with the LUMBO lidar, from a distance of one km at 2kHz sample rate and 808 nm wavelength.

The parametrized fit with discrete harmonics describes the raw data fairly. Judging from a wing beat frequency of 113 Hz, night time observation, and that the waveform is not spiky as for glossy wings it is presumably a moth. While many local moth species are rather bright the true projected cross section could be roughly twice of the OCS value due a reflectance of ~50%.
