I was thinking to myself I can't believe I'm going to look at pictures of insect hotels because dcarch said to, lol, but I have to admit it was interesting. And they have a certain beauty of their own.
Who knew? I didn't go to any of the sites to read up on them yet, but I guess this is because we have cut down and cleaned up so much of the natural insect habitat? (well, not much danger of that in MY yard, but I mean in general)
I added a link to the page to make it easier.

Here is a link that might be useful: google images insect hotels from dcarch post

Thanks, dcarch! Glad to see your name here once more!
I have not been here much lately myself, due to various things.
I enjoyed the 'hotels'!
