lures

Lures are objects designed to attract animals, fish, or insects, often used in hunting, fishing, or pest control. They mimic the appearance, scent, or movement of prey or appealing targets, enticing the targeted creature to approach or strike. For example, a fishing lure might resemble a small fish to attract larger fish, while an insect lure might imitate a flower to draw pollinators. Lures are essential tools that help humans interact with wildlife more effectively and ethically, by guiding animals to specific spots for observation, study, or capture.
