Caption:
Created in 1974, this photograph shows a public health field technician, who was setting up a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) miniature light trap that was used to collect mosquitoes in the field. Here, the connection between the multiple C-cell batteries was being established, powering the motorized fan. Trapped mosquitoes are held alive until they can be frozen. The batteries provide power for one night, and the motor may be expected to work for 15-25 nights before it wears out. It may be combined with CO2, or octanol isomer as an additional attractant.
