Countless species of insects have been put up in the insect hotel. Here live wild bees next to ear worms and ladybugs above harvestmen.
They all use the created habitat as breeding, wintering or residential facility. The insect hotel offers its tenants several small biotopes to feel good.
Such a large residential community is not only aesthetically valuable. The insects also prove to be outspoken beneficial. They pollinate flowers, for example, or exterminate pests.'
