Insect Hotel

Members of the 'Thursday Group', among others, have created an 'insect hotel' in the kitchen garden at Folly Farm by stacking wooden crates, roof tiles and lengths of bamboo and twigs. This creates a perfect environment for a whole host of insect guests, including overwintering moths and butterflies, solitary bees and wasps, lacewings and ladybirds.
