For safely observing and temporarily housing garden butterflies and other small insects, this pop-up insect house provides a transparent, breathable butterfly habitat for close study and care. The design supports easy observation without frequent handling, making it suitable when you want to examine life stages, offer food or release insects back into the garden.

The fine mesh helps keep out tiny ants, wasps and other predator insects while remaining soft and breathable for delicate wings.

The unit folds flat for compact storage when not in use.
