"Insect Attracting and Capturing Apparatus" An insect attracting and capturing apparatus particularly suitable for capturing and killing mosquitoes. The apparatus has a light source for attracting insects. A fan establishes an air current into an insect receiving opening, and establishes turbulent air flows in the vicinity of the apparatus. An air flow directing flange directs air into the insect receiving opening and into the fan. The insect receiving opening leads to a narrow channel that directs air into the fan. Insects having an upward flight reflex to sensed changes in air flow direction and/or velocity will detect the air flow created by the fan, fly upwardly, and be captured in the air flow. An electrified grid is provided inside the passageway for electrocuting admitted insects. The position of the electrified grid inside the channel and in the inward air flow muffles sound from electrocution of insects. One embodiment uses ultraviolet light as an attractant, and another embodiment uses light, heat and motion to attract insects. The apparatus has the appearance of a conventional outdoor lighting fixture, and therefore is aesthetically attractive and relatively quiet compared to conventional insect electrocution devices.
