A solar insect killer and catcher is disclosed, which mainly comprises a casing, a solar plate, a power supply, a control switch, a timer, a circuit board and a plurality of light-emitting elements able to emit the lights having various wavelengths. The casing is transparent and hollow. The upper end of the inner wall surface of the casing is provided with the solar plate. The solar plate is connected to the power supply for saving the electricity transformed by the solar plate. The power supply is connected to the control switch and the timer. The control switch and the timer are provided on the outer side of the casing, respectively. A supporting hook or supporting ring is provided at a proper position on the outer side of the casing for hanging the casing. Alternatively, a supporting frame, supporting net or supporting basket having a proper height can be provided. A circuit board is provided at a proper position in the casing. The bottom surface of the circuit board is provided with the plurality of light-emitting elements able to emit the lights having various wavelengths. The light-emitting elements can be turned on/off simultaneously or individually under the control of the timer. With the above components, the solar insect killer and catcher of the present invention can be obtained. If a user intends to kill or catch the insects, he/she can prepare a water-collecting basin or dig a water-collecting pit outdoors. When the casing emits the lights having various wavelengths according to the preset timings, many kinds of insects can be attracted by the lights and then fly into the water-collecting basin or water-collecting pit. As a result, the insects cannot escape from the water collecting basin or water collecting pit and be captured therein.
