The invention relates to an insect trap which is especially intended for catching and/or rendering harmless flying insects and/or harmful insects. The insect trap ( 10 ), in a first embodiment, has a planar or curved, light surface ( 12 ) and at least one dark contrast spot ( 16 ) disposed inside said surface. The insect trap ( 10 ), in a second embodiment, has a diffuser surface ( 14 ) for producing a weak air current ( 22 ) that emanates from said surface. Both embodiments can be combined as required to increase the effectiveness of the trap. The insect trap ( 10 ) is further provided with devices for keeping, catching and/or eliminating trapped insects ( 42 ) on a surface of the trap and/or in a cavity ( 20 ) arranged therein. Insect traps of the above mentioned type are used in pest control indoors and outdoors and for detecting an insect density (monitoring).
