Building homes for insects

Making the Homes Comfortable
The aim of each of the insect homes is to try and encourage a single native species of insect to take up residency and this, from the little research I have done, will be difficult. But the plan at the moment is to try and replicate the natural habitat of the insect species in the box, so for the solitary bees it will be compacted sand to mimic their nesting areas. Weta on the other hand are one species that seems to be relatively easy to build a home for and there are plenty of places around New Zealand that provide weta hotels.
