What other flying insects other than flies will get caught in fly / sticky paper traps?

Question

I was wondering what other flying insects other then flies would get caught in fly paper? The sticky strip that is hung up. Would a bee get trapped in it? Or would they wiggle out it or try to and knock it down from their weight? I no doubt will get idiot , scarcsastic remarks but I've seen huge bees especially the bumble bee that are becoming a real nuisence.

Answer 1

Moths, bees, people..

Answer 2

Bugs and ants!

We use sticky traps to monitor for a wide variety of insects in my work.  Often they are baited with pheromone lures to bring in the specific insects we're looking for, but they also catch a wide variety of all other types of flying insects, including:

Flies of all sorts, beetles, moths, butterflies, wasps (we often use them to monitor for the presence of parasitic wasps), bees, flying ants, stoneflies, dragonflies, damselflies, mayflies, bugs and aphids, and pretty much any critter than flies and comes close to them.

Depending on where we put them up, we even get critters that don't even fly.  Ones in trees often get covered in caterpillars, and for some reason harvestmen (aka daddy-longlegs) often get suprisingly far onto the trap before they get stuck.

The grossest is some of the maggots - especially on wet traps, the flies will lay eggs (or possibly they develop from egg-carrying flies that get stuck), and the maggots hatch.  They rarely actually get stuck though, they just power through the glue, eating the dead things stuck to the trap and making a rather hideous aroma.
