    "My kids won't put it down!" "We spent the whole afternoon in the backyard catching beetles and ladybugs. My 6-year-old was absolutely in awe looking through the magnifying lens. This thing is genius — gentle on the bugs, easy for little hands, and honestly I was just as excited as she was. Best outdoor toy we've bought this year."

    About the Bug Buddy

    The Catch Buddy™

    Curiosity, captured. Kindness, built in.

    The Catch Buddy is a handheld bug-catching wand designed for curious kids and nature-loving adults alike. Slide the trigger forward, press the open chamber over a bug, and slide it back to gently trap it inside — no squishing, no stress, just wonder. A built-in 6× magnifying lens lets you observe every detail up close before you release the bug unharmed.

    Made from BPA-free premium plastics and built to last through years of backyard adventures. Available in lime green, blue, pink, yellow, and white.

    How does it work?

    Step 1 — Open the Chamber 🌿
    Slide the trigger button on the handle forward. This releases the spring and opens the two green trapdoors on the underside of the wand.

    Step 2 — Catch Your Bug 🐛
    Gently press the open chamber down over the bug. The clear faceted chamber lets you see exactly what you're catching.

    Step 3 — Observe! 🔍
    Slide the trigger back to close the trapdoors. Use the built-in 6× magnifying lens on the side to observe the bug up close.

    Step 4 — Release with Care 🊋
    Open the trapdoors again to release the bug safely. Catch. Observe. Release.
