Abstract
A compact insect trapping appliance which uses an ultraviolet light to attract insects and a disposable sticky reflecting surface to trap them. The flat sheet configuration of the disposable sticky reflector allows it to be packaged, shipped, and stored easily. The disposable reflector is bent and slipped into a removeable reflector frame so it can be removed and disposed of after use without personal contact with the entrapped insects.
