## Description

Carson BugView Bug Catcher with 5 xBuilt in Magnifying Lens, - Safe Insect Catching Tool for Children, Green (HU-10) : desertcart.co.uk: Outlet

Review: Fantastic bug holder - Excellent product ! Works very well , slide to open an close with ease , child has used this many times on bug hunts , helps the bugs stay safe too and replace when finished looking at them .
Review: 3+ Years adult use! - I bought this three years ago as a funny surprise because my partner always scrambled to find a bit of paper to slide under the glass for those surprisingly large house spiders that appear out of nowhere. It wasn't meant to be a serious gift but has actually been an extremely practical item! Its not just a toy for kids! This gets used for bees and wasps in the summer (aka 'spicy flies' to the cat) and spiders and moths and everything else that finds its way inside. It doesn't damage the little critters legs or wings when used deliberately and we've used it to let the cat think she's caught the bug while preventing injury to either, so she ends her hunt without distress. With this much extended, frequent use the only concern is that the orange sliding flap has warped slightly on the closing edge so we sometimes have to extend it carefullt so bugs don't try to get underneath the small hump as its closing. Once closed it is secure though, as we've once or twice caught a late night spider and forgotten to release them the next day then found a small web built in there that requires a clean out. This has definitely been worth its cost and I don't think our house will ever be without one again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What if the sliding door isn’t closing fully or completely flat?**
A: Large temperature changes can cause the sliding door to flex. Retract then extend the slider, then move the door by hand, so its flat within the track. Then to restore, leave for 24-48 hours at indoor temperatures. Contact Carson's team for issues.

A: The BugView is a versatile bug-catching tool designed for capturing a wide variety of insects, from spiders to bees, wasps, stink bugs, and more! It's perfect for creatures within the 6.5cm x 5cm x 2.8cm range, allowing for exciting observations.

**Q: Is the BugView bug catcher suitable for kids?**
A: Yes, the BugView is designed with kids in mind and is an ideal bug catcher kit for young nature enthusiasts. It provides a safe and educational way for children to explore and learn about insects and critters.

**Q: How does the quality of the magnifier in the BugView enhance the bug-catching experience?**
A: The crystal-clear acrylic magnifier, with its 5x magnification power, delivers exceptional clarity, allowing bug enthusiasts and nature lovers to explore the finest details of their specimens ensuring a remarkable observation experience.
