1. An insect container comprising:a) a plurality of side walls and a bottom wall interconnected along their contiguous edges to form a base having an upper peripheral edge and a hollow interior; b) a first lid having an edge for sealing contact about said upper peripheral edge of said base and having a plurality of apertures formed therein for allowing air currents to pass horizontally therethrough and further wherein said first lid has an aperture formed on an upwardly oriented wall of said first lid for insertion of a tube; and, c) a second lid formed in said first lid and independently openable from said first lid to form, with said base and said first lid, a fully enclosed container. 2. The insect container of claim 1 further including a handle to carry said container about and means for stabilizing said container when it is set on a surface.3. The insect container of claim 2 wherein said means for stabilizing said container includes a plurality of feet extending downward from said base for contact with an underlying surface.4. The insect container of claim 1 wherein said base is at least partially transparent to allow viewing of the inside thereof.5. The insect container of claim 1 further including at least one hollow tube of terminal length for removable insertion through one of said lids into the interior of said container, said tube first terminal end extending outside said container, when said tube is fully inserted into said container, and said tube second terminal end located in the interior of said container, and further including a removable end cap for temporarily capping one end of said tube.6. The insect container of claim 5 wherein said at least one hollow tube is removable from said container through an aperture formed in one of said lids and including a moveable flap for immediately closing said aperture after said tube is removed.7. The insect container of claim 5 wherein said at least one hollow tube is opaque to form a darkened interior therein and has a textured inner surface.8. The insect container of claim 5 where said moveable flap is hinged above said aperture for closing over said aperture when said tube is removed.9. The insect container of claim 2 where said handle is moveable from a first position, to carry said container about, to a second, stored position, outside of interference with said second lid when said second lid is opened.10. An insect container comprising:a) a plurality of side walls and a bottom wall interconnected along their contiguous edges to form a hollow base having a common, peripheral, upper edge; b) a first lid having a lower edge for sealing contact about said common, peripheral, upper edge of said base and including an upwardly oriented wall having a plurality of apertures formed therethrough for allowing air currents to pass into and out of said container; c) a second lid formed in said first lid and pivotally openable therefrom to form, with said base and said first lid, a fully enclosed container; and d) at least one hollow tube insertable into an aperture formed on the upwardly oriented wall of said first lid. 11. The insect container of claim 10 further including:a) a flange and fastener combination formed between said lower edge of said first lid and said common, peripheral, upper edge of said base for temporarily joining said first lid and said base together as a unit; and, b) a handle located on said first lid for carrying said container about. 12. The insect container of claim 10 wherein said base is transparent to allow viewing of the interior of said base from outside.13. The insect container of claim 10 further including said at least one hollow tube of terminal length for removable insertion through said first lid into the interior of said container, said tube having a first terminal end extending outside said container, when said tube is fully inserted in said container, and having a second terminal end for location in the interior of said container, said tube of a length to allow said second terminal end to contact at least a portion of said bottom wall of said container when said tube is fully inserted, at a downward angle, into said container, and further including an end cap for sealing one end of said tube to retain insects therein that migrate from said base into the interior of said tube.14. The insect container of claim 13 further including a second hollow tube, insertable at a downward angle into said container through an aperture formed in said first lid and further including a moveable flap for closing over said aperture when said second hollow tube is removed from said container.15. The insect container of claim 14 wherein said first and said second hollow tubes are opaque to form darkened interiors therein and have textured inner wall surfaces.16. The insect container of claim 14 where said moveable flap is hinged above said aperture and arranged to swing closed, over said aperture, through the force of gravity.17. A live insect container comprising:a) a plurality of side walls and a bottom wall molded as a unitary structure, to form a hollow base, and having a common, peripheral, upper edge lying in a plane spaced-apart above said bottom wall; b) a first lid having a lower edge for fastenable sealing contact with said common, peripheral, upper edge of said base and including an upwardly oriented wall having a plurality of adjacent slots formed therethrough for allowing air currents to pass into and out of said container; c) a second lid pivotally openable upward to form, with said base and said first lid, a fully enclosed container; d) a handle formed in said first lid, convertible from a first, carrying position, to a second, stored position, said second position out of conflict with said first and said second lid; and e) at least one hollow tube for removable insertion through said first lid into the interior of said container, said tube extending outside said container, when said tube is fully inserted in said container, at a bias angle, into said container. 18. The live insect container of claim 17 wherein said hollow base is transparent.19. The live insect container of claim 17 wherein said upper edge of said base lies in a plane spaced-apart, above, and parallel to said bottom wall.20. The live insect container of claim 17 further including a flange and fastener combination formed between said lower edge of said first lid and said common, peripheral, upper edge of said base for joining said first lid and said base together as a unit.
