i find the best way to attract an insect is to plant plants that are attractive hosts.
if you have anything particular in mind, try to find out where it lays its eggs, what its larvae feed on, etc, and go from there.

unless for example you were trying to find a carrion beetle. then you'd either have to leave out rotting meat, or go find a corpse to inspect.

I'm not sure if it would help you in your area, but this is a really nice book that I own:

EDIT:
Woo! I just saw the price on that book. A little pricy. I received mine from my parents as a hand-me-down. x,x;
