What to do with the twigs and trimming in your garden? Create a BUG SNUG and give beneficial insects, spiders, and small wildlife a safe place to survive the winter.
Step 1: Build the frame.
Choose a position for your snug in a sunny spot if possible. Once you’ve secured the poles, they should stand up by themselves, but you can knock them into the ground with a hammer or mallet to make the pyramid more secure.
Step 2: Gather your cuttings.
You can use almost any garden cuttings to fill the frame: lawn clippings, dried-out flower stems, small sticks, but anything with a hollow center is particularly good for insects.

Here’s how to tell the difference in Black Swallowtail butterflies.
The butterfly resting in the hand is the male. Notice the large, bright yellow spots across his wings and only a small amount of blue near the hindwings.
The butterfly above is the female. She is typically a bit larger and has smaller yellow spots, but her hindwings display a striking iridescent blue band.
Both males and females are important pollinators, but only females lay their eggs on host plants in the carrot family, including dill, parsley, fennel, and native golden alexanders.
Next time you spot a Black Swallowtail, look for the color pattern: more yellow usually means male, while more blue usually means female.

The Little Free Library is also ready for sharing. Be sure to stop by and say hello when you travel the walking trail!
