moth trap
Light-baited snare
A moth trap is a device designed to attract and capture moths, typically using light or pheromone lures.
Some target pantry moths that infest stored food; others collect specimens for scientific study or monitor pest populations in agriculture: We put moth traps in the closet to protect the wool sweaters.
Most use sticky surfaces to hold captured insects.
