Pantone Teardrop Bug Hotel
This is my design for a bug hotel, the design is a Teardrop shaped with two different styles of bug home, the coloured sections are printed in AC Pantone PLA.
The bottom section comprises off a circular push in piece made up of different sized cylinders for different bugs.
The top section comes in two and comprises of a back piece for shelter, and a front piece with holes leading to the back.
A ring piece at the top allows easy mounting to a hook or wall.
Help encourage beneficial insects in the city
Assembly Instructions
Print Each piece
Slide the Cylinder piece into the bottom tear drop hole.
You may wish to apply superglue to the rear of this piece to secure it inside the tear drop however this is option, it will sit comfortably in the piece without glue
Next find the top piece (green piece) with the flat back (NOT the one with the holes in the back) the bottom piece in the photo below
Slide that piece into the top of the tear drop, again you may wish to use super glue to secure it.
Next slide in the piece at the top of the photo above in front of the previous piece at the top of the tear drop, these pieces will now be back:back and cover the whole depth of the tear drop.
As in the photo below
Lastly locate a good plate to hang the bug hotel, it should be off the ground but in an area of good insect traffic.
