PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a trap capable of preventing a harmless small living organism from being needlessly devitalized, and injured or killed by mistake.SOLUTION: A cup-shaped container 1 is put on a small living organism A. A thin sheet material 2 is then inserted between the cup-shaped container 1 and a contact surface such as a floor or wall, and slid so that the small living organism A is put on the thin sheet material 2. After it is confirmed that the small living organism A moves onto the thin sheet material 2, the cup-shaped container 1 and thin sheet material 2 are brought up to move the small living organism A to a place where it is to be released. After a window, door or the like leading to the outside is opened, the cup-shaped container 1 and thin sheet material 2 are turned upside down to move the small living organism A to the inside of the cup-shaped container 1. The thin sheet material 2 is then slid by one hand, and the cup-like container 1 is shaken by the other hand to release the small living organism A outdoors.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】害を及ぼさない小型生物の生命までもをむやみに奪わず、誤って傷つけたり、死に至らしめない捕獲器を提供する。【解決手段】カップ状の容器1を小型生物Aの上にかぶせる。その後、薄い板状のもの2をカップ状の容器1と床・壁等の接触面との間に挿入し、小型生物Aが薄い板状のもの2の上に乗るようにスライドさせる。小型生物Aが薄い板状のもの2の上に移動していることを確認したのち、カップ状の容器1と薄い板状のもの2を持ち上げ、小型生物Aを逃がしたい場所へ移動する。屋外に通じる窓や扉等を開けた後、カップ状の容器1と薄い板状のもの2を逆さにして小型生物Aをカップ状の容器1の内部へ移動させる。薄い板状のもの2を片手でずらし、もう片方の手でカップ状の容器1を振り、小型生物Aを屋外へ逃がす。【選択図】図1
