Many adults have fond memories from their childhoods of climbing trees and getting muddy in the British countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAccording to research by the RSPB and National Trust, these are memories many of today’s children aren’t living. Only 1 in 5 children have a connection to nature, and time spent playing outdoors has halved in just one generation. The value of a connection to nature during childhood has a range of benefits, including; health, education, community and environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith the importance of a natural childhood in mind, Wildlife World has developed the mini bug collection, designed specially to educate and entertain children in their gardens or outdoor areas.

They like nothing more than to eat up lots of plants destroying aphids and the mould enticing ‘honeydew’ that aphids leave behind—providing natural protection for both our vegetable crops and flower beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA ladybird’s habitat in nature tends to be small shrubs, trees and grass. Most species can be found everywhere in the U.K as long as there is an adequate food supply. Sheltered areas such as dense vegetation, under tree bark and in garden sheds are prime locations for hibernation. They are often found, in these sites, huddled together in large groups to over-winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLadybirds require a source of pollen for food as they do not just feed on aphids. Planting flowers and herbs such as geraniums, marigolds, dill, parsley, and thyme will help attract and provide the ladybirds in your garden. A good practice is to place a ladybird house or habitat, much like the ones below, within a flower bed. Will act as a shelter source during summer months and suitable lodgings for hibernation ready for the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2021-02-15T11:20:25+00:00","alt":null,"width":900,"height":934,"src":"\/\/wildlifeworldtrade.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/ladybirds_900x_cf84b396-708f-4653-bfe6-b5f23e555fa4.jpg?v=1613388025"}}]
Our handmade bespoke wildlife products can take up to six weeks to build and deliver if we don't have them in stock.
Based on our best-selling Bee & Bug Biome, this giant version is a real focal point and still a working insect habit.
Originally designed as a school’s educational tool, the Giant Bee & Bug Biome is ideal for leisure parks, retail environments and interpretation centres. At 1.5m tall, it is a real showstopper and talking point.
The Giant Biome is handmade in the UK. Made in FSC-certified timber for sustainability. The outside is painted in a pale green-blue, and the whole piece has a real sculptural impact.
With various habitat types included in the Giant Biome, it should attract a variety of insects. Including friendly solitary bees. These will nest in the pollinating bee logs and may also be observed entering the clear Perspex nesting tubes in the opening upper inspection area at the Biome's top.
