HOME SWEET HOME

En vogue:  pre-fab insect datchas on Parisian apartment balconies and terraces to promote and to preserve urban bio-diversity. Multi-insect shelters like this one provide daytime hiding places and winter hibernation quarters for beneficial species like solitary bees, lady bugs and lacewings.

Vocabulary
un nichoir à insectes:  an insect nesting box
un arbri d'insectes:  an insect shelter
