They may not be that old fashioned, but I haven't seen any around lately. In a search, I see all the new fangled ones that cost $15-20 and up, which seems ridiculously high. The one I'm looking for is clear plastic and looked like a pair of scissors with a "bug compartment" and scissor handles. Does anyone know where I can get one of these? They should be relative inexpensive, which is all I need; however I'm also open to inexpensive ideas others may have, anything other than a jar and a piece of paper or anything that kills the bug.
Bug catcher that looked like a clear plastic pair of scissors, where to buy?

Sad, not an option and not funny.
A little work with Google Images found this:

That's the right scissor idea except the entrapment area wasn't a bulb. One of the scissor "blades" was just a 3" x 3" flat piece of clear plastic and the other scissor blade was the same size but it was shaped to be about 1/2-inch tall to let the bug crawl around in. Your link was getting closer to what I am looking for and it made me think that I may find it in a child's science site. Thank you!
