1. An active insect capturing device comprising:
a capture opening having one opening edge, at least one glare light source, and at least one receiving chamber having at least one chamber wall,
at least one brightness sensor for determining the brightness in the surroundings of the insect,
at least one data processing device arranged and adapted for comparing the brightness in the surroundings of the insect determined with the at least one brightness sensor to a lighting intensity of the glare light source or to adjustable lighting intensities of the glare light source,
at least one control unit for adjusting the lighting intensity of the glare light source, and
an indicator or output device,
wherein the at least one data processing device is arranged and adapted to determine a probability of capturing the insect based on the comparison of the brightness in the surroundings of the insect to the lighting intensity of the glare light of the glare light source, wherein the data processing device is connected or connectable to the indicator device or to the output device, which are adapted and arranged to indicate or output, respectively, the capture probability;
wherein the active insect capturing device is a vacuum cleaner attachment for a vacuum cleaner.
