How useful are Insect Hotels?
Hey dear community, first of all I hope you had a day full of interesting experiences as well as a great start to the new week! In this article I would like to go into more detail on an interesting topic and hope you can learn new things.
Here you can see some pictures of insect hotels which have the advantage of offering insects a great opportunity to breed and in principle they have different fillings where the insects can hide and breed and even in winter, insects stay there. Often it is increasingly difficult for insects to find shelter and this has the reason that many of their nesting places are destroyed and typical places in the garden include leaf residues which are usually disposed and the ever-increasing settlement of green spaces or drainage of areas are a major influencing factor so that the natural habitats disappear. Insects are of the utmost importance for the natural cycle and got the important task of pollinating plants and hanging insect hotels can make a huge contribution when it comes to biodiversity and help to support species, some of which are becoming increasingly rare and many are even threatened with extinction. There are different sources for insect hotels and usually you can find a wide range in garden centers or the Internet and there are also numerous instructions on how to build them yourself and when choosing the right materials, it is important to pay attention to different things and it is important that there are no places where the insects can get hurt or there is a danger from other animals and the right location is also important and the insects must be safe from the weather and it is optimal to choose a location that is in the sun. Nesting places for insects are important to counteract the change of habitats and to offer shelter throughout the whole year and it also has an influence on the ever-increasing death of insects as well as the biodiversity and also garden owners have the advantage that the environment is safer from pests and it is recommended for anyone who is looking for a way to stand up for nature.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about nature! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
Insect hotels or the perfect trap house for insects to benefit predators?
It is important to place them in such a way that they are safe from predators, as I have already mentioned in the article. It's good that you're thinking about it because in the wrong location, it can happen that different birds try to get their food and often damage the hotel. Wish you a good day dear @dreamtales
Well birds are fun to watch so it's a win win. I get more certain type of insects for my chickens and native birds will benefit too. Though as you said, they can destroy the
traphotel... I'll think of something.Thank you for sharing the idea ;)
Thank you very much for the support @qurator @ewkaw
