The adhesive layer 12B has a two-layer structure, and a release sheet 12C is temporarily attached to the adhesive layer 12B side. Non-adhesive regions 12D on which the adhesive layer 12B is not laminated are provided at both ends in the short direction of the base sheet 12A, that is, along the left and right ends in FIG.

  The support means 13 includes a leg member 19, a back frame 20 that stands upright from the leg member 19 and supports the light emitting means 11, a cover member 21 provided in front of the back frame 20, a back frame 20, and a cover An upper cover 22 is provided between the members 21 and provided above the rear frame 20 and supporting the upper side of the light shielding means 16. The back frame 20 and the cover member 21 are provided so as to be able to shield the light emitted forward and backward from the light emitting means 11. Of the light emitted from the light emitting means 11, only the light transmitted through the insect catching sheet 12 is emitted to the outside of the insect trap 10. It is supposed to be. The cover member 21 is formed of a stainless steel plate or the like, and the light emitting means 11 side (rear surface side) is a mirror surface 21A.

  The feeding means 15 includes a support shaft 25 that supports the insect catching sheet 12 wound in a roll shape, a guide roller 29 that guides the insect catching sheet 12 fed from the support shaft 25 downward, and an insect catching sheet guided downward. Three rollers 17 that guide the lower part 12 and the upper part of the light emitting means 11, two peeling rollers 30 that guide the release sheet 12 </ b> C peeled off from the insect catching sheet 12, and each roller 17 and each peeling part A winding shaft 35 that winds together the insect catching sheet 12 and the release sheet 12 </ b> C guided by the roller 30, and an operation handle 36 coupled to the winding shaft 35, and is supported by the back frame 20. The winding shaft 35 can be rotated in the direction of arrow R1 in FIG. 1 by operating the operation handle 36, and the adhesive layer 12B of the insect catching sheet 12 from which the release sheet 12C has been peeled is displayed on the opposite side of the light emitting means 11. In the extended state, it can be extended so as to surround the light emitting means 11.

  Three light shielding means 16 are provided on each of the left and right sides between the back frame 20 and the cover member 21. Each light shielding means 16 is formed in a vertically long and narrow plate shape, and is rotatably supported by a leg member 19 and an upper cover 22 at both upper and lower ends thereof.
