A cocoon sorting system sorts cocoons with healthy larvae therein, for example healthy leafcutter bee cells, from those with non-healthy larvae therein. The system conveys cocoons through a target scanning area on a conveyor where an x--ray source directs x-rays at the cocoons in the target scanning area. An opposing sensor head receives the x-rays which have passed through the target scanning area for generating a density image of cocoons in the target area. A processor compares the density image to a prescribed density criteria and determines a rejected cocoon if the density criteria is not met. A sorting mechanism removes the rejected cocoon from a remainder of cocoons on the conveyor.
