Wildlife World Mini Bugs Bug Box

商品説明

The Minibug bug box is a functioning wildlife habitat that Wildlife World has developed for children who have a growing interest in wildlife. The bug box is designed to be placed in the garden to attract ?beneficial insects?--insects that help to pollinate plants or protect them against pests--for studying and learning. Junior entomologists--and future conservationists--can learn all about insects by observing them in this habitat and completing the 16-page study and project book that comes with the box. As well as its educational benefits, the bug box also has a practical function because, by encouraging beneficial insects into the garden, it can help to keep pest insects under control and boost plant pollination. The attractive dual-chambered design of the Minibug bug box provides an overwintering habitat for natural aphid predators such as ladybirds, which can each eat more than 4000 aphids in their lifetime. During the spring and summer, the bug box becomes home for solitary bees--non-aggressive garden pollinators--and other beneficial insects. The bug box offers a variety of potential habitats--the top section can be filled with the provided sections of bamboo cane and plastic drinking straws or with other natural ?tubes?, such as dead plant stems, and the lower section is made from bored solid timber.
