Once the appropriate features and sensors have been identified, the collector will be designed accordingly. This will be an iterative process in which feedback from the testing and behavior of the mosquitoes around the collector during the experiment would be considered in optimizing its design. The main features of the trap includes an attractant, sensors for identifying and counting mosquitoes, container for holding the trapped mosquitoes, and a suction mechanism to force the mosquito into the trap.

Figure (\ref{fig:potentialTrapDesign}) shows some potential designs of the trap. The one on the left is more suitable for a dry attractant that spreads through the air such as \(CO_{2}\). The funnel shape makes sure that the mosquito will pass through the sensor. A netted container is connected at the bottom of the trap to contain the mosquitoes, while still letting the air flow through. The external cup shaped container pushes the air to the top where the opening of the trap is located. This ensures that the attractant still spreads to the top of the trap even if the fan pulls it downward. The design on the right shows a design suitable for a wet attractant such as ovitraps. Since it requires some amount of water for the attractant to work, the suction mechanism and the tubing should be relocated to ensure that the water will not enter.
