Abstract

The invention comprises a device for attracting and collecting flying insects. The device has an elongated clear plastic sleeve with a plurality of spaced passageways into the sleeve circumferentially around the sleeve to allow flying insects to travel therethrough into the interior of the sleeve. A fluorescent light is mounted centrally within the sleeve which can be illuminated to attract the flying insects toward the sleeve with the passageways in the sleeve allowing them to enter into the sleeve. A cone is mounted at the bottom of the sleeve having an enlarged upper end and a reduced lower end with downward converging tapered sides. A collection jar is detachably mounted to the lower end of the sleeve and surrounds the lower reduced end of the cone, whereby flying insects attracted into the sleeve, in circulating about in the sleeve, will be directed by the tapered sides of the cone through the reduced opening at the lower end of the cone into the jar where they will tend to remain captured within the jar. The jar is removable from the sleeve for emptying the jar of collected insects.
