Embodiments of unmanned, rotary wing drones are described herein that include an insect trap for luring and capturing mosquitoes or other insects. The drone can include a set of propulsion units, each having a motor and propeller, and that collectively provide sufficient lift when operating to allow the drone to fly. A flight controller can be used to send and receive information and control a flight of the drone according to a flight plan stored on the drone. The insect trap includes a funnel or other mechanism to allow only for one-way movement of an insect into a container. To lure the insect into the trap, ultraviolet light can be shone on high-surface titanium dioxide powder that is stored within a mesh bag. A battery or other power source can be used to power the various components, and solar panels can be used to charge the battery when the drone has landed.
