•They are everywhere around us. A lots of people don´t like them, but those small creatures are really important for enviroment. We are talking about insects. And why are they important? Many of them pollinate our fruits, flowers, and vegetables. They are also decomposers, that means they break down such organic materials as dead organisms.

• Bug or insect hotels are plases created to help animals in winter or give them food. • Bees, wasps, butterflyes or ladybugs are insects thet like Insect hotels the most.• Do butterflies really use butterfly houses?A few years ago, the North American Butterfly Association asked members if they had found that butterflies actually use butterfly houses. Not one member said they had. As a result, NABA came to the conclusion that butterflies don't use these structures.

•Birds are also very important part of nature. They eat harmful insects and just help enviroment. In the winter, when they do not have anything to eat we can help them by making Birds Buffats.We have to build small wood house, than hang it on a tree and put there some seeds or fruit or a bacon.•Sparrow, Titmouse,Jay.... are birds that stay in Slovakia all winter and they need our help because the insects sleep.
