Abstract
An insect capturing device is substantially a hollow pyramid in configuration and includes a closed base portion, opposed front and back walls, opposed side walls, and a cover member. Each of the front and back walls extends upwardly from the base at substantially an acute angle, and includes a central aperture which extends from the top portion of each wall to an intermediate portion thereof. The side walls each extend upwardly from the base at substantially an acute angle, the top edge of each side wall being free and spaced from the cover portion. The cover member is substantially parallel to the base and connects the front and back walls. The cover portion has a width less than that of the base and includes a pair of roof members each of which extends from the top portion of the front and back walls such that it extends over the aperture of its respective wall member. Each lateral end of the cover member extends over a portion of one of the inclined side walls such that the device includes four shaded ramp areas, each having an access opening to the interior of the device.
