<p>THE EMBODIMENTS DESCRIBED AND CLAIMED HEREIN RELATE TO INSECT TRAPS (10; 110; 210). ONE PARTICULAR EMBODIMENT OF THE INSECT TRAP COMPRISES A HOUSING (12; 112; 212) WHICH HOLDS A INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE (60A; 60B; 160A; 160B), AN INSECT IMMOBILIZING DEVICE (190), AND A VISIBLE SPECTRUM LIGHT SOURCE (80A; 80B; 180A; 180B). THE HOUSING AT LEAST PARTIALLY CONCEALS THE INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE, THE INSECT IMMOBILIZING DEVICE, AND THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM LIGHT SOURCE FROM VIEW AND INCLUDES A CHANNEL (14A; 14B; 114A; 114B; 214A; 214B) INTO WHICH INSECTS CAN ENTER THE HOUSING AND APPROACH THE INSECT IMMOBILIZING DEVICE AND THROUGH WHICH A GRADUATED PATTERN OF INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT CAN BE PROJECTED INTO AN AREA DESIRED TO BE FREE FROM INSECTS. THE LIGHT PATTERN EMITTED FROM THE INSECT TRAP INCLUDES A DIFFUSED LIGHT COMPONENT (77A; 77B) THAT IS REFLECTED OFF OF A REFLECTIVE SURFACE (26A; 26B; 126A; 126B; 226A; 226B) AND AN INTENSE LIGHT COMPONENT (78A; 78B) THAT IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH A LIGHT CONDUIT (70A; 70B; 270A; 270B). THE LIGHT CONDUIT CAPTURES LIGHT FROM THE INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE FROM A FIRST END THAT IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE. A SECOND END OF THE LIGHT CONDUIT IS DISPOSED NEAR THE OPENING OF THE CHANNEL AND IS ORIENTED IN SUCH A MANNER SO AS TO TRANSMIT THE INSECT ATTRACTING LIGHT SOURCE INTO THE DIRECTION OF THE AREA DESIRED TO BE FREE FROM INSECTS.
