Now that autumn's most definitely here and making itself felt, spare a thought for the small creatures which will be looking for somewhere snug to see out the cold months.

This weekend, why not try making a home for insects? It's really easy, though you can make it as ornate and complex as you like... you could create anything from the insect equivalent of a one-bedroom chalet to a big bug hotel! Lots of garden-friendly creepy-crawlies will thank you.

  • Hi Katie

    Like your bug house, very simple, you might like to see mine which is posted among the replies about hegehogs in the 'Tearoom'.

    Have you any ideas on the best place to site a bug house ? In the open, among shrubs etc or in a covered area ?
