Completed insect hotel in the Millennium Wildlife park, Scotstown
All kinds of mini-beasts are benefitting from this shelter made from recycled materials. In natural habitats there are endless nooks and crannies where mini-beasts, properly
known as invertebrates, can shelter. Crevices in bark, holes in
dead wood, piles of fallen leaves, gaps between rocks, hollow plant stems, spaces in dead logs – all these can provide a home for the myriad of small creatures that need somewhere to nest or to escape from predators or bad weather. Established gardens can also provide lots of hiding places, but gardeners often like to tidy away the debris where
invertebrates might live. Gardeners often feel pressure to keep their plots tidy and in a new garden, or one that consists of containers surrounded by hard surfaces, the amount of natural cover will be limited. We can help provide more homes by creating more insect hotels, which are often interesting and attractive creations in their own right.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR1ogpXvwy4
