Insect terminator reverse engineered (and one-way teardown)

I thought it would be interesting how does this cheap high voltage circuit work, so here it is! I was slightly confused by the wrong datasheet and with strange capacitor arrangement in the schematic, but I think I got it worked out - let me know if I was wrong in the comments! This cheap fly zapper is worth getting for the circuit alone I think, that's if you wish to get low power high voltage source. Oscillator is basically a Joule Thief, with third winding added on transformer for high voltage output and going through a voltage tripler - awesome simple! Enjoy!
