    What could be used to attract mosquitoes strongly enough that they would crawl inside the jar?

    The two things that immediately pop into my head are chemical traces of either a food source or a potential mate. There are a number of mosquito lures that you can order as replacements for existing mosquito traps so that is where I'll start my research.

    A bit of light googling revealed that this i already a product with widely varying price ranges.

    Not unexpected as we've known about pheromones and have been annoyed with mosquitoes for a long time.

    So the trick will be to make a project accessible to the average DIYer without violating copyright or being too expensive.
