About This Product
The child sucks on the short green tube while placing the end of the clear tube over an insect, which is drawn safely into the chamber. Because the chamber is not perfectly round, bugs keep walking until they find a corner to hide in, and once still they are much easier to observe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can a child accidentally draw an insect into their mouth?
No. The mouth tube fits the hole covered with fine mesh, which stops the specimen from being drawn into the child's mouth.
