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.

Sad, not an option and not funny.

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!

Just as I suspected. "SSL" is your sock puppet. Why don't you tell us
all about those plastic scissors for $15-20 and up?
