Shooting mosquitos with lasers

Ever since I read a job posting regarding tracking bees with a radar I have dreamt about combining a system like that with a laser to automatically (or manually for extra fun) shoot mosquitos. It seems I’ve not been the first nor the last person to have that idea. While I quickly learnt that the bees in that project were equipped with radar-reflecting material, I found an old post at some brainstorming website that discussed a system using three microphones to triangulate a mosquito’s position. Now a similar idea has made the Wall Street Journal’s frontpage. Wood and Kare are testing system that currently uses image recognition to locate the bugs. Using radar is also discussed in that article, so it seems that radar actually has at least the theoretical ability to track a single mosquito. Must be fun to get paid to work on a project like that.
