Abstract: An insect monitoring device and method of monitoring insects having a body with a slide out tray assembly. The tray assembly has a replaceable sheet assembly with an exposed adhesive surface. The tray assembly has an aperture through which insects may pass to encounter the adhesive surface. Spaced from the adhesive surface is a heating element to warm the interior of the monitoring device. A sheet assembly has a reflective side to reflect heat back onto the adhesive surface and an insulating side to increase efficiency. A sensor array images the adhesive surface and transmits images to a remote computer. Other sensors may also be present on the sensor array.

Abstract: An device for attracting and capturing an insect is provided. The device includes a housing which defines an interior space and a plurality of entrances in open communication with the interior space, a downwardly sloping panel coupled to and disposed within the housing, and an adhesive attached to at least a portion of the bottom surface of the downwardly sloping panel. The downwardly sloping panel and the housing together define a tapering passageway which leads to a crevice opposite at least one of the plurality of entrances, and the adhesive attached to the bottom surface of the panel is adapted to capture the insect.
