* Detection:
** Distance sensor: Is it precise enough for insect size/motion (esp. the small silver bug)?
** Trap with infrared LED+photo transistor: When insect passes through tube, detection should happen. Is LED+transistor precise enough for insect sized objects?
** Image processing?
Steve Yegge: It's easy to come up with new product ideas if you start with the understanding that everything sucks. Everything can stand improvement. Just think about what you'd change if you were doing it for yourself, and everything should start falling into place.

Arduino Simulator
Existing:
* Virtual Breadboard:
** See demo (includes servo example)
** Has no voltage/current transient behavior (they call it discretes).
** You can check how your algorithm will work
* Simulink SimPowerSystems
* ArduLab
** Spanish
* Labcenter products:
** Proteus VSM for AVR [item 315] (no PCB design, only microcontroller sim for Atmel AVR) = 479$
** Advanced Simulation Features [item 234] (required for transient analysis) = 319$
** Total: 800$
* emulware
* Spice (circuit simulator)
* Circuit playground (not a simulator, it's a basic calculator of electrical stuff)
