Carson BugView 5X Magnifying Glass Quick-Release Bug Catcher Indoor and Outdoor Tool for Kids or Adults (HU-10)

I tend to get roaches in my apartment due to where I live and spiders from time to time. I came across this product and order it and got to use it a few times now and it is great. Some roaches are really fast, so you may have to chase them, but it makes it cleaner and easier to capture and dispose of them or release them back in the wild. Kids will love this for capturing insects and getting a close look. If you love being out in nature, this is great to bring along with you. The handle is on the shorter side, so you may need a ladder to reach what you are capturing. This is a great value for the money and entertaining if you light capturing insects. It is plastic so it should hold up well.

The Carson BugView 5X Magnifying Glass has turned out to be one of the most engaging educational tools I’ve picked up. Whether you’re using it with kids who are curious about the natural world or you’re an adult who enjoys observing insects up close, this bug catcher makes learning incredibly accessible. The built-in 5X magnifier offers a clear, detailed look at insects, allowing you to examine features like wings, antennae, patterns, and behavior that you’d never notice with the naked eye. It’s a perfect way to spark conversations about biology, habitats, ecosystems, and how different species interact with their environment. Kids get a hands-on science experience, and adults can appreciate the level of detail and discovery it brings. The quick-release catcher design is simple and humane, making it easy to safely trap bugs without harming them. This not only teaches respect for living creatures but also encourages responsible observation—something useful in both classrooms and backyard explorations. What I really like is how versatile it is: • Great for outdoor nature walks, science lessons, or backyard exploration • Useful indoors for safely relocating spiders or insects • Helps build observational skills and curiosity • Lightweight, sturdy, and designed for repeated use Overall, the Carson BugView is an excellent educational tool that turns everyday encounters with insects into meaningful learning moments. It’s fun, informative, and perfect for anyone who loves to explore the tiny world around us.

Worth every penny! Living in the desert we get a lot of geckos in our house. I love them, they help with the bugs, but if they stay in our house they will likely get smushed or become a play toy for one of our dogs.. I've been using a glass and paper to try and rescue them and take them outside, but that doesn't always work and sometimes there are injuries sustained in the process. This device is life altering! Just came across a gecko and finally got to use it. It made taking the guy outside so quick, easy, and painless for both of us. The magnifier is alright, but the way this thing functions with the little sliding door is perfection!

I am a catch and release kind of person. I can't bear to squash or squish anything because the only thing an insect truly owns is their life and who am I to deprive them of that. That being said, I don't want to cohabitate with them. It is very difficult to sneak up on an insect with a cup, especially spiders or insects that hop. They always seem to sense the cup coming and it becomes a mad chase that I don't always win. THIS Bug Catcher is incredible, it is clear & they don't seem to notice it coming down on top of them, the sliding bottom moves easily to trap them and to release the insects outdoors where they can be free to live their little insect lives.

I love this thing! I’m super scared of bees and spiders which tend to get into our home sometimes. I don’t wanna kill them, so this has been a great tool to relocate them!! I just wish the handle was longer cause I don’t wanna get any close to the spiders! lol

I love bugs & spiders. My cats? They love to bring them in from the catio! Ugh. I used this for the first time tonight to get a grasshopper outside a cat had brought in. It’s nice because I placed it directly over the grasshopper & slid the bottom under it. This can help save the insects or spiders with little risk of hurting them. It seems durable. It’s better than trying to shoo something into a container. The size was perfect for the large grasshopper it was. I think this is a great value for the money. Containers work, but not as efficiently or easily. I can totally see where this would be very educational & fun for kids. It was pretty interesting to me seeing the thing magnified.

I bought this for my husband who’s the chief bug catcher at our house. He’s always followed the catch and release method and this makes the job easier. No more quickly searching for a cup and thin cardboard. Worked great for small spiders, stink bugs, and a docile bee. Giant house spiders may not fit!

The Carson bug catcher is a handy tool to have around my house. One day I saw a spider in my garage and immediately realized I didn’t have anything to pick it up without fear of dropping it on me e.g. cup and paper. This resolves it for me entirely and helps me get over the fear of the bug also flying or jumping out. The release feature was also another reason I bought this as I didn’t want to kill certain bugs I may find around my house that are helpful e.g. the spider I mentioned earlier. It doesn’t take batteries fortunately and it’s definitely also a fun device for kids as well to teach them about bugs while also having the nice functionality as an everyday bug catcher around the house.

Easy to use for little fingers and enquiring minds.

La compré para regalar y triunfó. Permite observar insectos sin hacerles daño. Buena ampliación y plástico sólido. Perfecta para niños curiosos.

Eine tolle Erfindung um Insekten und spinnen von der Wohnung nach draußen zu befördern. Ich habe zwar eine Phobie vor Spinnen, dennoch finde ich es schade, dass diesen Tierchen sterben sollen nur weil ich sie nicht in meinen 4 Wänden möchte. Hiermit kann ich wesentlich einfacher und für mich sicherer Spinnen und Insekten einfangen und wieder in die Natur setzen. Hier kommt können Spinnen Mücken und andere Insekten fressen oder auch als Futter für Vögel oder Igel dienen, so wie es der natürliche Kreislauf vorgesehen hat. Das Prinzip funktioniert Recht einfach. Das durchsichtige Kunststoffgehäuse ist von unten mit einer orangenen und dicht abschließenden Klappe verschlossen. Über den Schieberegler am Griff kann dieser Regler geöffnet und geschlossen werden. Wenn das Gehäuse offen ist kann man ihn vorsichtig über das unerwünschte Insekt setzen. Danach scheint man den Schieberegler vorsichtig zurück und das Insekt ist sicher in der Kammer. Danach einfach rausgehen und das gleiche an geeigneter Stelle wiederholen um das Tierchen wieder in die Freiheit zu entlassen. Nur die Lupe hätte man weglassen können...für Forscher vielleicht interessant, so kann die Lupe jedoch auch zu Herpes und Alpträumen führen wenn man hier etwas sensibler oder empfindlicher reagiert.

De las mejores compras que he hecho, una gran opción para reubicar a los bichos y para que los niños puedan observarlos de cerca y aprender sobre ellos.

Müthiş bir ürün, böceklere zarar vermeden evden çıkarmak için çok güzel bir aparat.
