An insect trap is disclosed. The trap is adapted to attract insects of the type that tend to naturally congregate together such as lady beetles or box elder bugs. The trap is formed from a single blank manufactured from a light-colored material. The blank has tabs extending from it and has slits cut into it. Predetermined fold lines allow the blank to be folded so that the tabs engage in the slits to form a single chambered insect trap. The blank may have images of insects marked on its outermost surface to aid in attracting insects to the trap. The trap is designed to allow insects to freely enter and exit therefrom and may be either emptied or disposed of when a suitable number of insects are held therein. The attractants used to draw insects to the trap are the use of light-colored materials for the blank, the marking of images of the desired insect onto the exterior surface of the blank and pheromones naturally released by insects attracted by the other mechanisms.
