Bugs are essential to the ecosystem. For example, bees pollinate 80% of all plants. However, there are reports of a staggering decline in insect populations over the past decades across the globe. Insects have a significant role in gardens because their diets include weeds and other bugs considered pests. They also aerate the soil while recycling natural materials and decomposing nutrients. Bugs help maintain ecological structures, especially in this anthropocentric era and amid climate change

Bug hotels are known for promoting bug diversity and are encouraged to be built in backyards. A bug hotel provides shelter and nesting space for native and migratory solitary insects. Constructed using leftover and upcycled materials, such as unused planks of wood for the structure and walls, and corrugated panels for the roofing to keep it dry from the weather. Fill the box with old pipes, rotting wood, stones, acorns, pre-drilled wood, and other organic materials. Keep it elevated from the ground to prevent ants from attacking the colony and larvae of other insects
