This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Animal Care.

In this Badge Bit you will make a house for ladybugs.


Some research is needed to come up with a design that will attract ladybugs.  Please look around a bit for a design before copying the first image you find online.

Minimum requirements:
  - it must be openable for cleaning
  - it must be designed/located to protect the inside from rain
  - natural wood and steel/wood fasteners (no glue, plywood, stain, paint)

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
  - the ladybug house under construction
  - your finished ladybug house (does not need to be installed outdoors)
  - show the inside of the ladybug house with the nesting material
 
Let's get him boys! We'll make him read this tiny ad!
