There are disclosed an insect trap (10) and a method for attracting and / or catching avian and / or pest insects (12). The trap (10) has a suction opening (14) which continues into an intake duct (16) in which there is an air flow (18) which acts on the intake opening (14) with negative pressure or with a suction flow and which leads to an interior space (FIG. 20) of the insect trap (10) leads. Furthermore, the case (10) enclosing the intake channel (16) in the vicinity of the intake opening (14) and the intake channel (16) in the further region in changing radial distance enveloping and in a direction of the intake passage (16) through-reaching air flow (18) extending parallel to the outgoing air (24) at least partially permeable surface which forms at least part of an outer wall (22) of the insect trap (10). In addition, an on the outer wall (22) adjoining and largely for incoming or outgoing air impermeable and the suction port (14) opposite end or bottom side (28) is provided which is at least slightly spaced from one in the interior (20) Trap (10) reaching open end face (30) of the intake duct (16).
