#gardeningwithkids #gardening #bugs Hello friends! Three years ago, my husband and younger son made this insect hotel from scraps of wood. This has been a fun, yet educational activity for our youngest. This little bug hotel provides habitats for various insects and other arthropods while helping to restore ecological balance and biodiversity in our backyard. It’s a great way to attract beneficial insects too!☺️ Here are some materials you can put in your bug hotel: 🐛Pinecones
🐞Small stones
🪲Pieces of bark, rotting wood
🐝Bamboo pole
🦋Cardboard tubes, egg carton
🌱Hay, plant stems, twigs This sanctuary can shelter beneficial insects including ladybugs (ladybird), other beetles, lacewings, and wasps. It will also provide homes for pollinators like bees and butterflies.🦋🐝 Do you have a bug hotel or plan on placing one in your garden? 💚🐞🐛🪲🕷
