Malaise trap in Little Higher Wood, Bexhill Brick Pit Malaise traps (named after Swedish entomologist Rene Malaise, the inventor) are used to sample flying insects during ecological studies.  They are capable of gathering many species that entomologists rarely or never see as well as commoner ones.  They are not baited, insects simply fly into them and make their own way upwards to a collecting bottle.
