It was ideal as it is damp and dark so the minibeasts loved it!<\/span><\/h1>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16718\" src=\"http:\/\/scoilmhuirejunior.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160602_102242-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"20160602_102242\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/h1>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> We also found some in the &#8216;bug hotel&#8217; but it was mostly spiders that we found here as they liked the straw and different materials here.
