Not that this trap was necessarily set out for very long, but this sort of 
activity is a good example of why you want to check traps often: if left 
undisturbed long enough, what you catch in a trap can become a food source for 
what you don’t catch.

Subject: [pestlist] Interesting find

Hello everyone,

This isn't an identification request, just something I thought was interesting 
and wanted to share.  Apparently a spider wandered into this trap, and 
something else later came along and stayed in the non-sticky portion and 
feasted away!  Whatever it was also managed to slip out the side.

There's also a book louse on there, for those into psocids.
