Abstract

An apparatus for catching insects is disclosed, which includes an insect-carrying chamber having an opening large enough to allow an insect to pass therethrough. The opening is closable by way of a shutter so that when the insect enters the chamber, it may be trapped therein by moving the shutter to its closed position.
