An insect trap to entice and collect insects with UV light, and including a main body, a cross-fan, an insect filter, an insect collector detachably provided to the cross-fan, and a decoy UV LED installation unit coupled to a buttress above the main body and including a decoy UV LED module, in which the main body has an inlet port and a flow channel having an inclined shape and a curved shape extending from the inclined shape, the insect collector including an insect collector mesh through which air introduced into the main body is discharged, the decoy UV LED module includes at least one chip-on-board type UV LED chip or at least one UV LED package mounted on a support substrate, and the insect filter is detachably coupled to the inlet port and allows selective passage of insects therethrough.

The present invention relates to an insect trap for attracting insects using a UV LED and sucking and capturing the attracted insects with a fan. The insect trap of the present invention comprises: a body; a suction part provided on one side of the body; a fan installed behind the suction part; at least one UV LED, provided on the body at least around the fan, for irradiating ultraviolet rays forward; a discharge part for discharging air sucked in by the suction part in a direction different from the air suction direction of the suction part; a duct which is an air passage from the suction part to the discharge part; a first streamlined inner surface, provided on an inner wall side opposite to a direction in which the duct extends on the basis of the suction part, for guiding air sucked into the suction part toward the duct; and an insect net, installed in the discharge part, for passing the air therethrough and capturing insects being sucked in together with the air.

Systems and methods are provided for locating an insect in a space and for indicating to a user the location of the insect and/or for eliminating the insect. The system includes a camera to obtain an image of the space and a processor to detect an object by comparing at least two images of the space and determine that the object is an insect based on a characteristic of the object in an image of the space. In some embodiments an independently mobile device may be controlled to eliminate the insect at the location of the insect in the space.

A method for sex sorting of mosquitoes generally comprises the steps of: providing a plate that includes multiple wells, with each of the multiple wells configured to receive a mosquito; filling each of the multiple wells with a predetermined volume of water; placing a mosquito in each of the multiple wells; capturing an image of each mosquito in each of the multiple wells; and analyzing each image to determine if each mosquito is male or female. Mosquitoes have distinct anatomical areas for identification, which are captured in the images and are used to determine if a mosquito is male or female. Furthermore, in some implementations, there is an additional step of exterminating each mosquito that is determined to be female.

The invention relates to a complex mosquito trap for outdoor spaces which comprises a plurality of individual traps in an array supplied with CO2, comprising in combination a distance between each individual adjacent trap that does not exceed 12 metres, a CO2 flow rate in each individual trap greater than 0.5 g/h per metre of distance between adjacent traps, and the presence of a centralised flow controller and a flow limiter in each trap.

The device is a fan, similar to a typical rotary desk fan, but with the motor running in reverse to create inward airflow. An insect screen lines the rear of the blade housing ana a hinged door is located at the bottom of the housing. A small cup is mounted to the front of the fan to hold insect attractant.

When the insect approaches the attractant, it is drawn into the inward airflow and into the fan housing. Because the rear of the housing is lined with fine mesh screening, the insect cannot escape and will eventually die of dehydration. The hinged door at the bottom of the housing allows convenient removal of accumulated dead insects.
