Here’s a garden gadget that is the antithesis of the traditional take-no-prisoners bug zapper.  Constructed from durable FSC Timber, the Insect Theatre collects solar power during the day and automatically lights up at dusk attracting moths, lacewings, butterflies and other nighttime flying insects into the Theatre.  The light automatically turns off at dawn to reveal the insects inside.  Bugs can exit the same way they came in.  You can create a little natural habitat for the insects by placing twigs or leaves in the Theatre through its side access door, which can also be used to remove insects to study.

The lower shelf has several solitary bee (they don’t sting) nesting holes as added habitat.
