Abstract
A multipurpose, collapsible carton formed of telescopically connected inner and outer members is used, in a preferred embodiment, as a disposable insect trap. The inner container member has closed bottom and side walls, and a funnel-shaped top wall. The outer cover member is telescopically mounted over the inner container and includes a closed top, open bottom, and side walls having open windows therein. When the carton is open insects are lured by bait to enter the windows, crawl down through the funnel into the container where they are trapped. When full, the carton is closed by slipping the cover down around the inner container, and the unit is discarded. When opened, the cover member remains attached over the inner member by a simple locking mechanism.
