Disclosed is an insect trap, which includes a trap assembly and a trapping box provided with an opening in the upper end thereof, wherein a killing component is arranged in the trapping box; the trapping box is arranged below the trap assembly, and the bottom of the trapping box is connected to the trap assembly; and a space for insects to pass through is maintained between the trap assembly and the upper edge of the trapping box. The insect trap can lure insects moving around the insect trap into the trapping box, and can effectively prevent insects from climbing onto the trap assembly.

The present invention refers to a Fixed Rotating Support for Insect Trap, in which the insect trap has a connection mechanism to be attached to a rotating support, thus having a trap that is not affected by movement, as the rotating support remains fixed to the insect trap and fixed and immobilized on the means of support, thereby achieving higher functionality of its components.

Potted plant riser assemblies are provided for preventing small, crawling insects from accessing cultivated plants. Embodiments of the potted plant riser assembly can include an outer wall structure that defines an outer ground boundary. The outer wall structure surrounds a capture trough, which surrounds a riser structure. The capture trough has insect capture material disposed therein. The riser structure includes an elevated platform on which to place (or integrate) a planter for cultivating a plant. The potted plant riser assembly also includes an eaves structure designed to permit entry of small, crawling insects into the capture trough, while also shielding the capture trough from entry of debris and from run-off of water, soil, and the like from the plant and planter.

A bug trap apparatus suited for trapping and killing lanternflies is presented. More specifically, the present invention traps and kills lanternflies, specifically emplacing the present invention in nesting areas, feeding areas, or any other areas where lanternflies congregate. The bug trap apparatus comprises an enclosure, a mounting frame, and at least one capturing element. The at least one capturing element each comprises a trap body, a trap entrance, and a trap reservoir. The at least one capturing element is distributed about the mounting frame. The mounting frame is positioned within the enclosure. The trap entrance and the trap base are positioned terminally opposite to each other along the trap body. The trap reservoir is positioned within the trap body. The trap entrance traverses within the trap reservoir.

Compositions for attracting and/or trapping male agricultural pests, particularly Spodoptera species (e.g., fall armyworm) are described. The compositions comprise two active components, one comprising a C7-C11 aldehyde and one comprising a C12-C16 aldehyde, acetate ester or primary alcohol. Also described are devices for attracting and/or trapping the agricultural pests and methods of controlling the population of the agricultural pests.

A method of separating a batch of insects from a trap into individual insects comprises pouring the batch into a container having at least one hole, the hole being sized for a single insect; and moving the container to shake the insects within so that individual insects are caused to exit via the hole onto a collecting surface, thereby providing separated insects onto the collecting surface. The insects from the trap may then be counted and image recognition may be used to identify the genus, species or gender. The process may be carried out for multiple traps and location data may be stored with the insect identifications to give a map of insect distribution.

A receptacle for use with an insect trap comprises a hollow body defining an open upper end for attaching to the insect trap and for receiving insects from the trap, and an open lower end. A floor of the receptacle is mounted to the lower end of the body and is movable between a closed position wherein the floor covers the open lower end, and an open position wherein the lower end is open and exposed to a surrounding environment.
