Abstract: An insect trap includes a housing having a support frame; a skin of flexible transparent or translucent material attached to and covering the support frame to thereby provide a housing interior which is substantially totally exposed to sunlight. A walk through passage extends through the housing, and the flexible skin is spaced from the walk through passage to provide a spacing in the housing. One or more partitions are located in the spacing along with brush elements forming a dense curtain in the walk through passage for brushing flies off an animal passing through the housing in the walk through passage. The brush elements are formed from dark material in contrast to the flexible skin so that insects parted from the animal by the brush elements will be attracted to the flexible skin for subsequent desiccation.
