An effective insect trap comprises a housing that substantially encloses an interior space for trapping and killing insects. A conduit is attached to or formed from the housing, where the conduit is shaped to facilitate entry of insects into the trap interior space, based on the insects' natural motion and its attraction to light radiating from within the trap. The conduit, or preferably multiple conduits, narrows in cross sectional area to a conduit end that is open to the interior space. A socket used to secure a light bulb is positioned such that, when the bulb is in the socket, the bulb is within about one inch of the conduit end. Overall, the trap hinders the escape of trapped insects through the conduit and under some conditions is selective to biting insects, such as mosquitoes, mosquito types, and sub-miniature biting midges, over other types of insects.
