The trap is held open by foldable rings (38 cm diameter) at top and bottom of the black cylinder. Of 96 x 26 mesh polyester netting, this pop-up butterfly bait trap is equipped with a 2-way, full-length (about 90 cm) zippered side opening convenient for removing captured butterflies from either top-down or bottom-up. There is no cone or lip at bottom to stop butterflies from escaping.

1) nothing at bottom to prevent escape; 2) correct way to hook tray to cylinder

(click to enlarge):

The removable bait tray (20 cm in diameter, included) hangs by plastic hooks from three drawstrings beneath the cylinder. To hook tray to cylinder, pass the hook through the hole in the tray so the open part of the hook is outside the tray.

There is an 8 cm long "skirt" sewn to the bottom. You can either fold up this skirt or use the cord lock attached to each drawstring to adjust the gap between bait tray and bottom entrance.
