Abstract
A device for capturing insects can include a handle and a head fastened to one end of the handle. The head can include a holder intended to contain a pack of adhesive sheets suitable for holding an insect and a frame that matches the holder and has at least one rim intended to cover part of the pack of adhesive sheets. The rim can be configured so as to constitute a predetermined tear-away zone on the pack of adhesive sheets, so that each adhesive sheet from the pack of adhesive sheets can be peeled apart from each other without multiple sheets being removed together. The frame can define a cavity adjacent to one adhesive face of the pack of adhesive sheets so that insects present in the cavity adhere to the adhesive sheet.
