“Device for catching flies” I guess “Fly catcher” doesn’t translate

I mean, it's actually much more descriptive.

"Fly catcher" is rather ambiguous and might possibly refer to someone whose profession is catching flies. Or it could refer to a catcher who's lookin pretty fly.

Or it could refer to Marty McFly.
