fly trap
Bug-catching device
A fly trap is a device or plant that catches flies.
The term covers mechanical contraptions like sticky paper or wire-mesh domes, as well as carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap that lure insects and snap shut on them.
We hung fly traps on the porch to cut down on the buzzing.
