Video Description
(Visual Description, Use Captions for Audio) The BugView 5x power bug catcher is a crystal-clear acrylic magnifer. An image of the bottom of the BugView is shown. The BugView is a one-handed bug catcher. A young boy is sitting on the couch reading when a young girl comes over and points to a different direction. The young boy throws the book, gets up and follows her to where they see a worm crawling on the floor. The young boy takes the BugView and safely catches the worm. They view the worm under the magnifer. The BugView is safe and easy to use for children. They continue to view the worm under the magnifier. They nod at each other and go outside to release the worm safely in the grass. Visit www.carson.com for more information.

I love this device so much I have ordered three so far and recommend them to anyone who wants to kindly transport bugs back outside.

I initially left a negative review of the bug viewer (plastic slider left too much space to properly capture the bugs), however after light tinkering the slider is back in place and device now works great.

This is an inexpensive and effective tool for removing bugs safely and placing outside where they belong.

Thank you for purchasing the BugView. This product is meant to assist in catching bugs that crawl on grass, floors or walls. Due to the nature of the design, it does not work on flying insects. With the slider open, place the magnifier over the critter then slide it closed. You can then release it back into nature.

We’ve always “caught and released” insects and birds that got into our home near the woods. It is so much easier with this tool. And the advantage of looking at the patterns on beetles and/or bees is so worth the small price. It’s like having a mini-microscope or a science kit. I bought one for my granddaughter’s pre-school. Her teacher loved it! Perfect, end of school year gift.

I bought this after reading about it in the New York Times. I haven’t caught any bugs yet, but I’m glad I’m ready.

Quick delivery on a fabulous new toy for me, but have not yet had an opportunity to use it. Very excited about the possibilities that lie ahead!
Jean Slater (verified owner) –
I purchased two of these BugViews as gifts for two granddaughters, ages 12 and 13. What a perfect gift to encourage outdoor scientists. I read the article in the New York Times Sunday magazine speaking about this item and ordered it right away. I am very pleased. Thank you.

This product is great for turning insect fear to curiosity. Safely viewing your catch, then safely releasing them outside helps everyone learn to care about the world around them.
