An insect trap comprises a crawl path (420) which is made of a plurality of resilient deflectable strips (20). An enclosure (450) forms a hallway (40) to engage the crawl path (420) to form a complete enclosure. The exit gate of the hallway (40) to the interior of a chamber (10) is normally closed by the crawl path (420) which constitutes the bottom portion of the enclosure (450). An insect enters through an aperture (60) and alights on the crawl path (420). The crawl path (420) is deflected downwardly to reveal an opening at the end of the hallway (40). The insect departs at the distal end of the crawl path (420) into the chamber (10). The crawl path (420) returns to its closed position with the enclosure (450) upon the departure of the insect into the confined chamber (10).
