Abstract
An insect capture device which comprises a transparent, dish-shaped retaining member attached to an elongate handle and having a concavity that removably receives and holds a disposable, transparent insert element. The insert element is provided with an exposed hollow surface, the surface of which is coated with a clear, tacky, non-drying adhesive that captures insects coming into contact therewith. The retaining member and retaining element may be constructed so that they are substantially identical in size and shape so that either one may be nested in the other. So constructed the insect capture device can be sold in component form as a kit which would include an attachment for affixing one end of the handle to the retaining member during assembly of the device by the user. If desired, a cover is provided to removably cover the adhesive-coated surface of the insert element when not in use.
