I bought one of these https://t.co/H1TbxGrSjb to do the same thing. US patent US7832140B2There are YouTube tutorials for making a fan based mosquito catcher out of a screen mesh and fan, its not hard to put 2-and-2 together.https://t.co/YxW5kGS072#actuallyautistic #adnoyance https://t.co/35j7qFAnKb

Nifty little thing actually. Works like those electric fly swatters. It doubles as a rechargeable camping light.Going to modify it to run off of USB for when the built in battery stops working. https://t.co/LFvq9VRJR4

I bet if I search for Crispr mosquitoes a bit, Google's ad system will tell me the answer of where to by medical grade mosquitoes.https://t.co/LMuczwiXDU

These little mosquito lights are often on extreme discount because no one knows how it works so assume it's a cheap gimmick.If you're actually in the market for anti-mosquito devices, don't bother buying those heavily advertised fancy ones.

Autistic man invents a way to harvest wild mosquitoes for home grown gene drive experiments with bacteria. Accidentally stumbles onto mechanisms of global bioterrorism and laughs. https://t.co/8t0oVR0AUw

"We were trying to focus on defense, because we felt it was going to be too easy. For $50, [someone] could do a CRISPR gene drive and eliminate whatever organism they don’t like."😭https://t.co/VCWxna2Zjp

In reality, what I'm talking about is a decentralized biodefence system, trapping mosquitoes and looking for makers of home-grown CRISPR'd pathogens being spread by bioterrorists.These tools are dual-use.https://t.co/jAguUpAyW2

One of my favorite people on YouTube made a similar bug catching system. Light + fan + Net.its really not that hard to figure this stuff out if you just think on it a bit.https://t.co/Tn1gsaiBSO

He's also got a version of it in his house tour video at the 59m34s mark. Which is as simple as you can make it. A computer fan, a mesh sock thing, and a bunch of LEDs.https://t.co/MmpvywtuHG https://t.co/xNUCvgVvA0
