This modular BugHouse is designed to fight back the global decline of insects! It was modeled for the #Hope3D Design competition and therefor has different parts, some easy to print on small printers (like Body1 and Body9), some more suitable for bigger printers and better quality (like Body3 and 6).  The base is made with the 5 parts, Body1,2,3,4 and 5 and fit together easily but to make sure it doesn't falls apart cause of sunlight, rain and other environment factors some glue is recommended. The roof part, Body5 has some tappered inclines so rain washes of it easily and the insectmodules stay dry.  The ButterflyModule, Body6, is designed to house different species of butterfly pupa and also doubles as an hybernating space for adult buuterflies. This Module needs to be filled with some sticks and leafs of Hedra hedra wo the eggs will be layed on them and for the pupa to hang from.  The BeeModule, Body 8, is designed with different radiuses and detpth to suited the needs for different spieces of bee's. 2 and 3mm for the genus Chelostoma, Hylaeus and Heriades. 5 and 7mm for the genus Osmia, Anthidium and Collestes. And 10 and 12mm for the genus Anthophora and some Osmia.  The LadybugModule is designed to give shelter during the summerrains and it is recommended to place this shelter near your gardenplants who needs some louse protection.  The last module can be filled with some wood, reed or coconut hair to assist in an more natural look or birdsnesting material.
