Uncle Milton Bug Jug - Manual (Page 2)

Bug catching
Interesting bugs can be found almost anywhere — a field, a forest, a pond, your backyard. Some bugs are easy to see and some are a
little harder. When catching a bug, move very slowly so you don’t frighten it. Remember that you are much bigger — and scarier —
to it than it is to you! This little booklet gives you information about some bugs that you may be able to find. Make sure to avoid the
bugs shown below!
Use the Portable Mini Bug Collector to collect a bug and carry
it back to Bug Jug. Find one bug at a time. When you’ve
finished observing the bug in Bug Jug, return it to where you
found it and then you can look for another.
1 Gently allow the bug to crawl into the Mini Bug Collector
from either the wide opening or the small opening. (Close
the opening you are not using.) Sometimes it is helpful to
use a twig or a leaf to gently help the bug in. When you
have the bug inside, close the Mini Bug Collector.
(Remember to always treat bugs — and all other animals —
gently and with respect.)
2 Make sure the Dome is snapped securely in place to the
base. Now remove the Mini Bug Collector Port Cap from the
Dome and carefully remove the Cap from the Mini Bug
Collector. Slowly put the smaller end of the Mini Bug
Collector into the open hole of the Dome. You can also
collect some leaves, twigs or grass from the area to put
in Bug Jug.
3 When the bug has entered, remove the Mini Bug Collector
and replace the Mini Bug Collector Port Cap. Place the
removable magnifier on top of the Bug Jug dome for
up-close observation.

NEVER place Bug Jug in direct sun, or near any source of heat, such as an oven, heater vent or fireplace. This is especially
important if your Bug Jug has an occupant, namely, a bug! Put Bug Jug on a stable surface that will not get shaken or bumped.
