Much warmer, overcast, no moon, humid,calm.

SAINSBURY'S CATCH and VIEW
On my birthday, daughter Nikki and her husband Rupe bought me a kids bug catcher kit from Sainsbury's as a bit of a joke.
The plastic magnifier and tweezers are neither use nor ornament, but the bug viewing cage is ideal for raising larvae.
I haven't tried breeding any larvae through to adult stage yet, but now I will give it a go.
Ignore the brightly coloured plastic frame and you have a very serviceable unit indeed, with a handy door for replenishing food supplies and a large white mesh area to check out the progress of your nursery.
It even has a carry handle.
Ideal for those larger larvae.
At just £3.00 I will be purchasing a few more of these

The creepy crawly catch and view kit

The white mesh is very see through ... not sure about the colour scheme though.
Note the handy swing-away door for ease of access.

Length = 150mm (6 inches)
Height = 100mm (4 inches)
Width = 100 mm
Be the envy of your moth society with a SAINSBURY'S CATCH AND VIEW KIT.
Hurry while stocks last.
