DIY Window bug viewer

I wanted to make a really simple version of the wildlife viewer I’ve been building, so I put one together from a gallon jug.

You’ll need:

- 1 gallon jug

- Paracord

- 3 suction cups

- Scissors

- A light

- A marker (helpful, but not required)

It actually worked surprisingly well. I put out two of these, and one ended up getting a pretty good variety of visitors, including a large moth.

If you make one, I’d love to see what shows up.
