Other Creatures
Nest boxes are marketed not only for birds and bats, but also for butterflies and other mammals, especially arboreal ones such as squirrels and opossums. Depending on the animal, these boxes are used for roosting, breeding, or both. Or, as in the case with butterflies, hibernation. Wasps may build their nests inside a nest box intended for other animals, and may exclude the intended species.
