Abstract
An insect catching device may include at least two insect capture surfaces, a first surface including a first color, and a second surface including a second, lighter color relative to the first color of the first surface. The second color of the second surface may highlight the presence of insects captured thereon facilitating at least one of ease of counting and ease of identification of captured insects. The insect catching device may also include a line of weakening disposed between the first surface and the second surface. The line of weakening may include at least one perforation. The second surface may be detachable from the first surface along the line of weakening. The first color may be configured to decrease visibility of captured insects on the first surface observable by a viewer through an insect trap cover.
