Artistic Table Fly Traps Show Ingenious Decorative Charm
A French inventor designs a decorative fly trap that doubles as table art and window display. A revolving disk with cups holds bait and lifts insects into a conical prison tower where they cannot escape, using a wind mill motif to attract attention. The mechanism guides flies under a cone then traps them in the tower.
