Bug traps are not always viewed as a decorative piece; however, the CuldeSac fly catcher will change that. This whimsical bug trap is a marvel of functionality and design.

Crafted out of full ceramic, the CuldeSac fly catcher comes with a [fairytale-like frog accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-lighter) and a lighting fixture. This insect receptacle boasts a minimalist design, allowing for double use as a bug trap or [ambient light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-x-flos).

**Implications** - One of the best ways a company or brand can embed itself in the minds and hearts of consumers is by creating a product that provides a novel take on a typical household item. By putting a design or spin on an age-old product, the company or brand stands a good chance of attracting interest from consumers seeking some spice and style in their everyday lives.
