THE EMBODIMENTS DESCRIBED AND CLAIMED HEREIN RELATE TO INSECT TRAPS (10 110 210). ONE PARTICULAR EMBODIMENT OF THE INSECT TRAP COMPRISES A HOUSING (12 112 212) WHICH HOLDS A INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE (60A 60B 160A 160B), AN INSECT IMMOBILIZING DEVICE (190), AND A VISIBLE SPECTRUM LIGHT SOURCE (80A 80B 180A 180B). THE HOUSING AT LEAST PARTIALLY CONCEALS THE INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE, THE INSECT IMMOBILIZING DEVICE, AND THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM LIGHT SOURCE FROM VIEW AND INCLUDES A CHANNEL (14A 14B 114A 114B 214A 214B) INTO WHICH INSECTS CAN ENTER THE HOUSING AND APPROACH THE INSECT IMMOBILIZING DEVICE AND THROUGH WHICH A GRADUATED PATTERN OF INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT CAN BE PROJECTED INTO AN AREA DESIRED TO BE FREE FROM INSECTS. THE LIGHT PATTERN EMITTED FROM THE INSECT TRAP INCLUDES A DIFFUSED LIGHT COMPONENT (77A 77B) THAT IS REFLECTED OFF OF A REFLECTIVE SURFACE (26A 26B 126A 126B 226A 226B) AND AN INTENSE LIGHT COMPONENT (78A 78B) THAT IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH A LIGHT CONDUIT (70A 70B 270A 270B). THE LIGHT CONDUIT CAPTURES LIGHT FROM THE INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE FROM A FIRST END THAT IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE. A SECOND END OF THE LIGHT CONDUIT IS DISPOSED NEAR THE OPENING OF THE CHANNEL AND IS ORIENTED IN SUCH A MANNER SO AS TO TRANSMIT THE INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE INTO THE DIRECTION OF THE AREA DESIRED TO BE FREE FROM INSECTS. THE MOST ILLUSTRATIVE DRAWING IS FIGURE 10.
