Abstract
A luminous insect trap for flying or crawling insects includes a hollow cylindrical enclosure having cylindrical side walls and upper and lower ends, a roof member removably closing the upper end, a removable electrical light source within the enclosure, an electrical power source providing electrical power to the light source, transparent, white or lightly colored, flexible glue boards removably overlying a major portion of the cylindrical walls; a bottom wall including a generally centrally disposed aperture, the aperture being just large enough to allow relatively large insects to pass therethrough, the centrally disposed portion of the bottom wall projecting inwardly into the enclosure for defining an annular space between the inwardly projecting bottom wall and the side walls of the enclosure, and a plurality of wall apertures spaced apart about the periphery of the cylindrical walls just below the bottom of the roof member.
