This is the second of two Insect Houses on the Nature Reserve. The first is credited to pupils of Millom School and this one is down to Friends of the MILNR. Both were under the leadership of "the Natterjack man, Bill Shaw" (William Shaw Cumbria Natterjack Conservation Officer). The insect house is made from many different materials including hay, straw, reeds, pine cones, bricks slate, gravel, sand, drilled logs, bark etc. The objective is to provide a home for as many types of insect as possible, particularly over the winter period.
