Introducing our Bug Catcher – the perfect toy to promote scientific learning for kids aged 3 to 12! With an integrated LED light, carabineer, and battery-operated vacuum mechanism, this bug catcher makes bug-catching fun and exciting. Children can observe, keep notes, and make sketches, all while enjoying the thrill of the chase.
Teach your child to play and explore their favorite bugs without harming them. Our patented, bug-safe vacuum sends each bug gently into the core viewing chamber, making it easy to catch and release. The chambered capture gun ensures safe and hygienic capture, so your child can observe without touching the bugs.
Use the bug catcher anywhere, anytime – indoors or outdoors, day or night! The integrated light and 1-inch suction head allow for the capture of all types of household and backyard bugs. The clear 360-degree sides keep your child engaged without a bug escaping.
Catch, study, and release insects back into the wild. Includes bug vacuum and lighted habitat.
The perfect STEM Science toy for home or classroom use. Loved by teachers and parents year after year.

I’ve always wanted one of these!
When I finally got around to keep a pet jumping spider I finally ordered one of these. I know it’s a ‘toy’, but it’s pretty useful for catching those flies that laze around my window screen. I suck up about 3 or 4, then plop the container into the freezer for a few minutes to put the flies to sleep and then drop them all into my spider’s enclosure! Free food! It’s also cool for gathering up those scarier bugs that I really don’t want to mess with (the occasional desert scorpion) and bring them back outside. Love this thing!

Always wanted it
My kids have wanted this thing for years. Finally caved and purchased. The vacuum action stopped working the first day. Some wire got disconnected inside. My husband had to take apart and fix it. Itâs working now. The kids like it when they can use it. Need to be careful not to suck in dirt.

Broken vacuum
I purchased this for my nieceâs 5th birthday. She is a bug enthusiast and was excited to use it. Unfortunately, the vacuum didnât work. Thanks to Amazon, it was easy enough to send back & get a replacement, and the replacement worked fine. If youâre giving this as a gift, I recommend opening it in advance, installing batteries and checking to make sure it works before you give it to a child. My niece was disappointed that her present didnât work right from the get go. Once we got the replacement, she was very happy with it. She liked the bug container as much as she liked the bug vacuum. She needed help catching bugs with the vacuum, but she was thrilled to watch the bugs in the container.

Happy Boy, Jealous Sister!
I bought this for my 5 year old grandson, who just moved to a farm with the family. I wanted to get a birthday gift that would encourage him to explore and enjoy his new surroundings. Not only has he had fun with this, but his other 5 siblings have joined in on the fun! It provides the durability and performance to stand up to 6 kids finding and learning about insects. It is the perfect size for him to carry and he has mastered the suction gun, getting quite proficient at catching bugs. The entertainment value of this gift is priceless. His 7 year old sister has already asked for one for her birthday! I highly recommend this product, you wonât regret getting this for your little adventurer. Itâs also great for the ones who are a little afraid of insects, allowing them to capture and study them at a distance.

It sucks up bugs and allows the kids to see them up close. My 7 year old used to scream anytime a bug was spotted, but now excitedly runs for this and gets the bug. Both kids enjoy seeing the bugs up close, and then they let them go outside. It works as expected.

My 6 year old granddaughter loves it.

This birthday gift has surprised us and still gets great use.. We have actually used it many times when we come across little creepy crawlers in our house. When we see a spider my daughter grabs her device and we suck it up and let it go outside lol. It’s pretty decent quality also.
Excellent just what I needed and easy to use –
Bought this for my granddaughter whoâs very interested in looking at bugs. Donât really know much about it as I live in uk and havenât seen it. Iâm positive my granddaughter is going to love this for her birthday. Very quick delivery and no problems as far as I know.
