Canyon of the Ancients Visitor Center Insect House - Dolores, Colorado - Insect Hotels on Waymarking.com

This insect house, known as the "Bug House", is located along the southeast portion of the entry plaza of the Canyon of the Ancients Visitor Center. The Bug house is approximately 5 foot by 3 foot and it is 2 foot off of the ground. It is constructed of wooden 2 by 4 lumber and chicken wire. The contents of the Bug House, when we were there, were pine cones; tree bark; and tree parts that had various size holes drilled. There was no information board at the site.
