Catch real bugs. See them up close. Return them to the wild.
Two magnifiers built right into the lid — a large stationary viewer for close-up detail, and a 360° rotating telescoping magnifier that follows your bug as it moves. Kids can watch legs, antennae, and wings in action.
The fully clear cylindrical habitat gives a 360° view of every angle. The removable base makes it easy to get bugs in and out. No fumbling, no dark corners — just an unobstructed window into a tiny world.
The full-colour field guide is packed with bug facts and comes loaded with achievement stickers — one for every type of bug caught and logged. It turns the backyard into a collection challenge that kids want to come back to.
The scissor-style bug catcher, net, and tweezers are built for gentle handling. The learning guide teaches kids from the start that bugs are living creatures that need to go back home — observation with respect baked in.
10 open-ended bug adventures — no two sessions are ever the same
From the garden to under rocks to the flower bed — bugs are everywhere once you start looking.
Head outside and search for insects in grass, under rocks, in soil, and around plants. Every environment holds something different.
Learn: Observation, patience, habitat awareness
Use the bug catcher, net, or tweezers to safely pick up a live insect and transfer it to the habitat without harming it.
Learn: Fine motor skills, tool use, gentle handling
Peer through the stationary magnifier to examine your bug in extraordinary detail — legs, eyes, wings, and body segments revealed.
Learn: Scientific observation, vocabulary
Use the rotating telescoping magnifier to follow your bug as it moves — zooming in and out, swivelling to stay on target.
Learn: Visual processing, focus, coordination
Flip through the field guide and match what you caught to the real species inside. Is it an insect or an arachnid? How many legs?
Learn: Classification, non-fiction reading, comparison
Think about where you found your bug and why. The learning guide explains what different bugs need to survive — and why your garden is full of them.
Learn: Ecology, environmental science, cause and effect
Plus glow-in-the-dark play with the 3 collectible figures, bug logging with achievement stickers, and the most important step of all — returning your bugs safely to where they came from
