The container body 10 includes: a bottom plate part 11 that has a scooping side 11a for scooping the insect M into the container body 10; a peripheral wall part 12 that rises from edges other than the scooping side 11a of the bottom plate part 11; and a handle part 14 that extends from the peripheral wall part 12 in a direction opposite from the scooping side 11a direction. The lid body 20 includes: a top plate part 21 that closes the top of the container body 10 so as to hold the insect M captured inside the container body 10; and a knob part 24 that extends in an opposing manner to the handle part 14 from the top plate part 21 in the same direction as the handle part 14. The lid body 20 is openably closeably connected to a connection part for the container body 10, is retained at the open position by a pressing operation toward the handle part 14 of the knob part 24, and is closed by a pressing release operation of the knob part 24.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】虫に逃げられにくい虫捕獲具を提供する。【解決手段】虫Mをすくい入れることができる容器本体10を塞ぐことができる蓋体20を備え、容器本体10は、虫Mを容器本体10内にすくい入れることができるすくい辺11aを有する底板部11と、底板部11のすくい辺11a以外の縁部から起立する周壁部12と、周壁部12から、すくい辺11a方向と逆方向へ延びる取っ手部14とを備え、蓋体20は、容器本体10に入った虫Mが出ないように容器本体10の上部を塞ぐ天板部21と、天板部21から、取っ手部14と同方向へ、取っ手部14と対向するように延びる摘み部24とを備え、蓋体20は、容器本体10に対して連結部で開閉可能に連結され、かつ、摘み部24の取っ手部14に向かう押し操作にて開位置に保持され、摘み部24の押圧解除操作にて閉じる。【選択図】図4
