"So, how does it kill mosquitoes?"

1. They smell the CO2 and think it's a mammal exhaling
2. They fly towards the smell of CO2, down the funnel, and into the trap!
3. Once they enter the trap, they find no food and try to escape, flying towards the light. (upwards).
4. They fly and rest, hanging on the sides.
5. Within a few days, they die of hunger.?.

Because their brains are too small to think of flying back out, the way they came in..
