PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a trap that can capture insects without crushing and that enhances capturing probability by increasing trapping opportunity.SOLUTION: The needle type insect trap is composed of a swatting plate 2 and a handle 3, with needles 1 protruding on the swatting surface of the swatting plate 2. The needles 1 are 0.2-1 mm thick and 2-20 mm long, with intervals of 2-10 mm, with the number of 50-500 needles, and with the tip ends of the needles 1 on the same plane. The swatting plate 2 has a weight of 20-120 g and has the handle 3 fixedly connected. The handle 3 are 20-70 cm long and, when the needles 1 are closely touched to a plane 5, the handle 3 is fixedly connected with an angle of 5-30 degrees in the direction receding from the plane 5. The swatting plate 2 has an isosceles trapezoid shape, with the upper side of 30-80 mm and the lower side 50-130 mm, with a height of 50-200 mm, and has a thickness of 1-5 mm as the characteristic of the trap.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】虫を潰さずに捕獲できる捕獲器であり、捕獲機会を増やし捕獲確率を上げる捕獲器を提供する。【解決手段】叩き板2と柄3からなり、叩き板2の叩き面には針1が突出している針刺し型虫捕獲器であって、針1は太さ0.2~1mm、長さ2~20mm、間隔は2~10mmで本数は50~500本、針1の先端は同一の面になっており、叩き板2の重さは20~120gで叩き板2には柄3が連結固定され、柄3の長さは20~70cm、柄3は針1を平面5に密着させたとき平面5から離れる方向で5~30度の角度で連結固定され、叩き板2の平面形状は上底30~80mm、下底50~130mm、高さ50~200mmの等脚台形であり、叩き板の厚さは1~5mmであることを特徴とする。【選択図】図3
