The Solar-Powered Garden Insect Theatre combines a solar-powered light with a sustainable insect habitat to attract insects into your garden and the insect theatre itself. During the day, the solar panel charges up the internal battery. At night, the theatre lights up, attracting a range of insects such as moths, lacewings and butterflies. When dawn comes along, the internal light automatically switches off, and the batteries are charged up again.
The insects are able to get into the insect theatre through the holes in the side, the louvres and around the edges of the wide door. This means that the insects are not trapped, and they can enter or exit at any time. You can insert branches, leaves and other plant material through the trapdoor at the base of the unit. To encourage insects into the unit, you just need to mount it in a warm, dry and slightly shady area.
The insect theatre is perfect for adults and children as a fascinating way to encourage insects into the garden. The insect theatre is made from sustainably grown timber, and treated with an environmentally safe wood preserving agent.
The outside dimensions of the box measures 205mm x 170mm x32mm, and prices start at around £29 (or $47 US).
