Usage Scenario
Seven-year-old Maya found a ladybug on a leaf in her backyard. She was scared to touch it but wanted to see its spots up close. Her mom handed her this bug catcher. Maya slid the switch, gently scooped up the ladybug, and watched it crawl inside the clear window. She studied its legs and wings for five minutes before releasing it back onto the flower. Now she asks to go bug hunting every afternoon.
