Abstract
An insect trap having a back portion and a base portion oriented at essentially right angles to each other. The trap back portion contains a light source to attract insects, especially fleas, to the trap and the trap base portion contains an insect structure which bears on its surface an adhesive material for trapping the insects attracted to the trap. The trap back and base portions may be configured so that they may be folded against each other when the trap is not in use.
