My bug hotel: Rest your antenna here


My bug hotel is still under construction, but guests are welcome to check in.

I was inspired by posts online about insect hotels designed to attract beneficial insects.

This insect lodge near the back fence is made of stuff that was stacked around the yard, including weather-beaten birdhouses that my dad made but were no longer sturdy enough for birds. The only thing I bought were cinder blocks to stabilize the layers.

I am still finding material to fill the spaces, but the McBerk Bug BnB is open for guests. I hope I don't have to evict any unruly ants.
