Abstract
An apparatus designed to catch flies and other flying insects comprises an aesthetically pleasing rectangular housing with a top opening which allows an insect to fly or crawl onto an internal tacky sheet to be trapped. The housing may be placed upon any flat surface or be wall-mounted, thereby minimizing an occurrence of observing the trapped dead insects. A side surface of the housing provides loading and unloading of a slide-in tacky sheet. The tacky sheet attracts and traps flying or crawling insects such as flies through the top opening of the housing, thereby partially blocking a view of the trapped insects inside.
