    Abstract: An insect trap for attracting, entrapping and killing flying insects comprises a light source emitting a light suitable to attract insects, a translucent wall and a flowing trapping fluid. A distributor directs a fluid film of trapping fluid onto an outer surface of the translucent wall. The fluid film flows down the translucent wall and intercepts insects attracted by the emitted light. The insects come into direct contact with the fluid film and are trapped by the trapping fluid. Trapped insects are filtered from the trapping fluid by a removable filter. The trapping fluid is collected in a reservoir and recirculated to the distributor by a pump.
