An insect distribution device to be carried by drone to distribute insects from the air, comprises a source of passive cooling; an insect chamber; one or more insect containers in said insect chamber; and a release point. The source of passive cooling is in thermal contact with the insect chamber to keep the insect container below a predetermined temperature to keep said insects passive during storage. The device is designed to feed the insect containers in turn to the release point for aerial release.
