Hi Lisa, Your exhibit sounds neat! The smallest commercial sticky monitors that I know are Bell Labs; Trapper Monitor & Insect Trap. While the trap itself has dimensions of 7 in X 3.3 in X 2.5 in, it is designed with perforations so that it can be torn into 1/3rds making the smaller traps 2.3 in X 3.5 in X 2.5 in. I've seen these smaller versions tucked into many exhibits and they do a fine job of picking up anything wandering through. While they aren't invisible, they tend to not stick out too much.
Good luck with the task of monitoring the munchable African regalia!
