Bug box
Habitat
Bug boxes provide snug, safe places for insects to hibernate. They are especially good for lacewings and ladybirds. These two species are very important in the garden as lacewing larvae and adult ladybirds and larvae consume insect pests. They avidly devour aphids! Solitary bees may also hibernate in a bug box.
Bug boxes are available in different shapes and sizes. You can purchase one from our on-line shop.
You can buy special attractants to encourage ladybirds and lacewings to take up residence in your bug box.
