Bugs up close and personal with an insect study centre
If you're a fan of BBC's Gardener's World you may have seen this fabulous insect study centre already. Made from FSC timber the study centre has three viewing chambers. The top chamber has a solar attraction light with it's own storage batteries which comes on automatically at dusk and switches itself off at dawn. The light attracts moths, butterflies, lacewing and other flying bugs. The middle chamber has creepy crawly viewing tubes and the lower one has three interactive trays for bee nesting (don't worry, Red Mason Bees which pollinate fruit, vegetables and flowers and are non aggressive). All three chambers are easily accessible to allow you to provide food and to watch the insects without disturbing them. £41 from Wildlife World.
