Respect for Life
Observe without harming the insect, then release it back into nature. This encourages a true scientific approach: search , capture, observe, and record.
A lesson in science—but above all, in kindness—that no screen can teach.
Adopted in my fifth-grade class
I was already using the Adventure Microscope in science class with my students, so when I saw the Insect Catcher on the website, I ordered it without hesitation. The result: our trip to the playground turned into a real expedition. The students catch a small creature without touching it, observe it up close, and then examine it under the microscope to see its legs and antennae on the screen. They record everything in their experiment notebooks, and we release the insect at the end. Even my most reserved students got into it. It was a real lesson about living things—and, above all, about respect.
Our team is available to assist you Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
From what age?
keyboard_arrow_downAges 3 and up. Children can start playing right away, without adult assistance.
Does it hurt the insects?
keyboard_arrow_downNo. The trap is designed to capture insects gently. We recommend releasing the insect after 10 minutes, back where it was found.
My child is afraid of insects—is this appropriate?
keyboard_arrow_downYes, it's actually ideal: he observes from a distance, without coming into contact. Fear often turns into curiosity. Just stay away from bees and wasps.
Is it compatible with the Adventure Microscope?
keyboard_arrow_downYes. You can place the insect trap under the microscope, or transfer the insect to it. That's our little explorers' favorite combination.
