A durable and backed insect hotel
Observing that "insect hotels" of all kinds, whether commercial or made from scratch, are rarely the test of time and even more rarely supported as to their efficiency, Loge opposes durability and efficiency.
Durability through the largely durable material that is terracotta and the effectiveness of a proven typology to specifically house these insects.
LOGE is a somewhat special perforated brick: its holes are specifically designed to house certain types of insects , starting with wild bees.
The other reservations are intended to be filled with materials such as straw or dead leaves, again to attract insects such as Lacewings, Earwigs, Anthocoris or even arachnids.
- A few dead leaves placed in it will create an environment conducive to the installation of anthocoris, these bugs useful to the gardener
- Cereal straw will be the ideal litter for the lacewings or earwigs which will spend the winter and their day there respectively.
- The diameter and the length of the holes of these "tubes" will seduce many species of bees which will develop larvae there before capping them.
- Quite simply left empty, these sites will be preferred by many species of arachnids which will produce their oothecae there.
The double hexagon shape was chosen both for aesthetic reasons, which make sense with the subject of pollinators, but also and above all because it allows the stacking of several LOGE .
This type of stacking makes it possible to make reservations in order to integrate educational and explanatory materials , but also to create real landscaping !
These double-hexagons in terracotta will be installed in the city in the form of a low wall and accompanied by educational instructions on biodiversity...
Or simply in your garden to enrich the surrounding fauna and flora.

An additional brick in the efforts for biodiversity
From the differentiated management of green spaces, to stopping the use of phytosanitary products, to schoolyards designed to give as much space as possible to biodiversity, through massive planting actions, things are progressing..
LOGE is thus positioned as an additional brick in a
landscape that needs tools, especially fun tools, to help
biodiversity gain a foothold in the daily lives of city dwellers.
