    Abstract: An insect monitoring system (ISM) and related e-commerce system are provided. The ISM includes an insect attracting light, an intake, an exhaust, an airflow conduit between intake and exhaust, an insect collecting mesh in the conduit, a fan for generating airflow in the airflow conduit, and one or more cameras pointed on the insect collecting mesh. The insect attracting light and the fan are activated such that insects are drawn into the intake and trapped against the insect collecting mesh. The images of the insect collecting mesh are processed and analyzed using a machine learning algorithm to recognize a type and number of insects. Recommendations are provided based on the analysis. In some aspects, the insect monitoring system is connected to electronic client devices over a communication network. The electronic devices are provided with an e-commerce application for sale of products and services responsive to the recommendations.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for using insect traps with combinations of dual multi-colored lights combining blue/green LED (light emitting diodes) with UV (ultraviolet) LEDs (light emitting diodes) for attracting insects to the lights and capturing the insects. The blue/green LED can emit at a wavelength of approximately 450 nm to approximately 550 nm in an approximately 180 degrees spread therefrom, and each side UV LED can emit at a wavelength of approximately 365 nm in an approximately 180 degrees spread therefrom. The combinations of multi-color lights can be mounted on one side of a module/fixture, and/or be mounted on opposite side faces of a module fixture. The combinations can use one centrally located blue/green LED with at least one right UV LED to a right side of the centrally located blue/green LED, and at least one left UV LED to a left side of the centrally located blue/green LED. Embodiments can include use on a sticky paper/card, in a housing with fan, and collection tray, and in an electrical gride of wires having a collection tray and sand mesh bag with an approximately 340 micron mesh screen. Embodiments include a plurality of UV (ultraviolet) LEDs (light emitting diodes) greater than the plurality of blue-green LEDs (light emitting diodes).

    Abstract: An inflatable flying insect trap that serves also serves as a light source. The insect trap is formed of an inflatable globe that, once inflated, forms a curved wall upon which a glue trap may be mounted. One or more LEDs positioned within the cavity of the globe emits light that passes through the globe and through the attached glue trap. Insects attracted to the light will become adhered to the external surface of the glue trap.

    Abstract: Problems associated with the use of fluorescent tubes in insect traps are resolved by providing a replacement lamp array employing multiple sets of light emitting diodes that each emit light at different specific wavelengths and are positioned within a one or more translucent sleeves having a surface coated with an environmentally safe light diffusion material creating a pattern comprising areas of more intense light dominated by the light cast by a single LED separated by areas of less intense light.
