The world is full of things we walk right past.

That tiny beetle on a leaf.
The butterfly resting in the garden.
The spider hiding beneath a stone.

Most of the time, we see them for a second and keep walking.

№ 12 · Questions

Good
questions.

Curious minds ask the best ones. Can't find yours? Get in touch.

A handheld insect catcher with a built-in 6X magnifying glass, made from durable ABS. It lets you hold a small insect for a moment of close observation before releasing it.

It's optical: look through the built-in magnifying glass and the insect appears six times larger. There's no screen or digital zoom.

Place the clear chamber gently over the insect and use the catching mechanism to hold it inside. Calm, slow movements work best.

Open the mechanism close to where you found it and let the insect walk or fly out on its own.

Durable ABS material.

Backyards, gardens, parks, forest trails, campsites and classrooms — anywhere small creatures live.
