'catcher' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

(Other definitions for flypaper that I've seen before include "Killer" , "Sticky strip that catches small insects" , "Sticky insect trap" , "Sticky stuff to trap insects" , "Bluebottle catcher" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
