ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improved bug catcher which enables a person to capture an insect without killing or injuring it in order that he may set the insect free outdoors. The improved bug catcher includes a platform member and a semispherical member which is mechanically adapted to be enclosed by the platform member. The improved bug catcher also includes a first elongated member which is mechanically coupled to the platform member at one end and a second elongated member which is mechanically coupled to the semispherical member at one end. The improved bug catcher further includes a hinge which pivotally couples the ends of the two elongated members which are oppositely disposed to the ends thereof to the platform member and the semispherical member. The semispherical member is generally formed from a clear plastic in order to allow the person to view the entrapped insect. The hinge includes a spring which is mechanically coupled to the two elongated members in order to spring bias them so that they will separate when the person releases them. The platform member may be a solid rectangular member or a rectangular piece of wire screen mesh which is adapted so that the person may trap an insect in the sand outdoors.
