An apparatus for trapping flying insects that is particularly configured for use in agricultural areas such as orchards and fields to allow inspection and elimination of such insects. The apparatus has an elongated vertical member or pole configured to mount into the ground or cooperate with a separate member mounted into the ground. An insect attracting light source and an insect immobilizing element are mounted to the pole. The light is provided by one or more light bulbs. The insect immobilizing element comprises a mesh screen panel covered with a sticky substance to provide an adhesive surface. A rechargeable battery is connected to the light source. A solar recharge system having a solar panel mounted to the top of the pole recharges the battery. For ease of handling and installation, the pole can be provided in multiple interconnecting sections. A photosensitive element controls the on/off function of the light source.
