Well one other aspect of this research springs to mind.
Most "bug zapper" design are wrong. It should consist of a light source and a single grid perpendicular to the light source rather than surrounding the light source.
The light source should also be constantly varying to ensure the insects' tilt (and hence their circling behavior) will also change the radius of their circles.
