An improved trap for catching insects that combines the use of attractant light and a sticky surface to trap the insects is provided. The trap includes a base, a dark colored insect trapping insert, a screen, a light source, and a cover housing. The insect trapping insert is secured to the base and has a sticky substance deposited on its exposed surfaces. The screen is arranged above the insect trapping insert in the insect trap in order to conceal at least a portion of the insect trapping insert. This serves to limit the extent which trapped insects. are visible to individuals who pass by the insect trap. The light source, which typically comprises an ultraviolet light emitting fluorescent tube, is positioned above the screen and serves to attract insects. The base, insect trapping insert, screen and light source are covered with the cover housing. The cover housing is formed from a clear, translucent or opaque plastic and has a roughened inside surface which serves to increase the output of ultraviolet light from the insect trap.
