Topflite The Bug Hut Feeder | NZ Backyard Insect & Pollinator House
TopfliteTopflite The Bug Hut Feeder is designed to provide safe shelter for beneficial insects and pollinators in your backyard. With carefully designed nooks, crannies and natural bamboo hollows, it creates ideal hiding and nesting spaces for reclusive wēta, native bees, beetles and other helpful garden guests.
Why does this matter? Because a thriving insect population supports a healthier garden ecosystem. Pollinators help your plants flourish, while predatory insects assist with natural pest control. In turn, insects also provide a valuable food source for native birds.

What insects will use a bug house in New Zealand?
Bug houses can attract native bees, wēta and beetles looking for safe nesting or shelter spaces. Providing habitat helps strengthen local pollinator populations, which benefits flowering plants and fruiting trees. Over time, a well positioned bug house can become a quiet hub of ecological activity.
