Abstract: An insect trap includes a combination of one or more components used to classify the insect according to a genus and species. In one embodiment, an apparatus can include an entry aperture configured to lead one or more insects to an imaging chamber within the apparatus. A device may include a door on a side surface of the apparatus, wherein a rear surface of the door is positioned within the imaging chamber in a closed position, and wherein the rear surface of the door comprises a removable/replaceable adhesive material or surface configured to trap one or more insects thereon. A device may include at least one imaging sensor positioned opposite the rear surface of the door configured to capture images of the one or more insects adhering to the adhesive material or surface.

Abstract: An insect trap includes a combination of one or more components used to classify the insect according to a genus and species. The trap includes an imaging device, a digital microphone, and passive infrared sensors at the entrance of the trap to sense wing-beat frequencies and size of the insect (to identify entry of a mosquito). A lamb-skin membrane, filled with an insect attractant such as carbon dioxide mixed with gas air inside, mimics human skin so that the insect can rest on the membrane and even pierce the membrane as if a blood meal is available. An imaging device such as a passive infrared sensor or a camera gathers image data of the insect. The insect may be a mosquito.
