An insect catching device may include at least two insect capture surfaces, a first surface including a first color, and a second surface including a second, lighter color relative to the first color of the first surface. The second color of the second surface may highlight the presence of insects captured thereon facilitating at least one of ease of counting and ease of identification of captured insects. The insect catching device may also include a line of weakening disposed between the first surface and the second surface. The line of weakening may include at least one perforation. The second surface may be detachable from the first surface along the line of weakening. The first color may be configured to decrease visibility of captured insects on the first surface observable by a viewer through an insect trap cover.

In order to appropriately address concerns of mosquitoes which carry disease, this device has been created to initially classify the mosquito to formulate appropriate extermination strategies. Classification of mosquitoes is typically done through the wing beat frequency by either noise or light interruption. It is important to be aware that not all mosquitoes are harmful and any data that may be collected concerning the harmful mosquito should be as accurate as possible to avoid altering the food supply in any particular area.

The present invention relates to a mosquito-killing illuminating lamp which comprises a casing and a control unit. The casing comprises an illuminating portion and a mosquito-killing portion. The illuminating portion is provided with illuminating components therein. An electrolysis carbon dioxide generating device and a fan are provided inside the mosquito-killing portion. The control unit controls operation of the illuminating components, the carbon dioxide generating device and the fan. The electrolysis carbon dioxide generating device comprises a box body and electrolysis components. The electrolysis components are provided inside the box body. An electrolyte solution is provided inside the box body. The box body is provided with a venting hole. The electrolysis components comprise a graphite electrode and a cathode plate. After conduction between the graphite electrode and the cathode plate, electrolysis is performed on the electrolyte solution to generate carbon dioxide.

Object detection systems are provided herein. An example system includes an enclosure formed by a sidewall to define an interaction volume, at least one light source for illuminating the interaction volume with a light, at least one light sensor that senses disturbances in light intensity due to scattering, reflection, or absorption of the light by objects within the interaction volume, and a controller that is configured to detect an object or object behavior within interaction volume based on the disturbances in the light intensity. The objection detection system may also include a trigger volume and/or a sorting volume.

The invention relates to an insect trap (10) and more particularly to an insect trap which has been designed to facilitate simple and efficient servicing, maintenance and cleaning. In a first aspect the trap comprises a. a back housing (12); b. a frame (14) swing mounted to said housing; and c. a cover (16) comprising openings (18) allowing insects to enter the trap and the frame supports one or a plurality of lights (22) such that said frame and lights can be moved from a first position where they overlie the back housing, to a second position where they lie clear of the back housing such that an insect catching means (100) which may be fitted over the back housing is readily accessible for replacement during servicing. In another aspect the trap comprises a. a back housing (12); b. a plurality of lights (22); and c. a cover (16) and the trap is adapted for ease of servicing and jet cleaning by the provision of shields (60) each of which sealably protect, from water ingress, a plurality of lights (22) at the positions where they connect to electrical fittings (24). In yet another aspect there is provided an insect capture means (100) with a general capture surface (102) and a separate surface (104) designed to facilitate record keeping.
