PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for inducing and trapping flying insects which economically and effectively captures targeted flying insects using an ultraviolet light-emitting diode as a light source, thus having such advantages that the apparatus itself is small-sized/lightweight, simple to carry/install/transfer/store, needs no large area for its occupation in its storage, leading to reducing labor for its inspection/maintenance, etc. and cutting expenditure burden.SOLUTION: The apparatus for inducing and trapping flying insects includes a power source unit composed of a solar cell panel, a condenser and a power switch, a light source unit composed of a lighting part with a light-emitting diode as light source and a flying insect collision plate, and an insect-trapping unit composed of a trap and a capturing cage. In this apparatus, the light-emitting diode is helically arranged around the cylindrical lighting part installed at the center of the power source unit.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】紫外線を照射する紫外線発光ダイオードを光源とすることで、経済的かつ効果的に所望の飛翔虫を捕獲し、装置を小型化・軽量化することで運搬・設置・移設・保管が簡便で、更に保管に際しては占有面積が少なく済み、点検・メンテナンス等の労力を軽減し、経費負担を減らすことができる飛翔虫誘引捕獲装置を提供する。【解決手段】太陽電池用パネル、蓄電器、電源スイッチからなる電源部と、発光ダイオードを光源とする点灯部、飛翔虫衝突板からなる光源部と、捕集器、捕獲かごからなる捕虫部とを備えていることを特徴とする飛翔虫誘引捕獲装置であり、前記発光ダイオードは、前記光源部の中央に設けられた筒状の点灯部の周囲に、螺旋状に配してなることを特徴とする。【選択図】 図1
