This is a nice idea--creating your own vacuum by sucking through one straw and trapping the insect through the other straw. The problem? It doesn't work well on a moving target. It's ok for smaller, slower insects, but it still needs a lot of power to pull up the insect through the straws. It might be a nice concept for a little kid, but anyone over five might get frustrated with it.

Grandson loved it. Properly sized for small hands, assembled easily and worked as expected. Really handy for close inspection of insects from the yard.

I was so excited to find a pre-made pooter on here. I love how well it works, AND the fact that I didn't have to make it myself. It works well up thru medium-sized crickets, and may work for larger bugs, but I haven't had to "poot" larger bugs yet. Thank you for this!

Doesn't work well. It has tubes bent REALLY easily. I have tried to use it on isopods, pinhead crickets, spiders, and small dubia roaches. It didn't work for anything yet, because it all gets bent without doing any movement.

I got this to aid in collecting live specimens to observe and release without harming them and this is perfect. Most bugs one does not mind picking up by hand, but some you do not want to touch or they are too delicate and small, and this is very handy for that. For very small critters it has a filter you pop in so you don’t inhale the little guys. This has been great fun to use with my 7 year old.

There are two flaws I see with this insect pooter.1 - I find it almost impossible to use without kinking the very soft, very flexible silicone tubing. As I attempt to show in my photo, it takes very little deflection of the hose before it kinks. Unless the bug is above your mouth, you'll likely need to bend one, if not both, of the hoses to reach the insect. An insect aspirator is typically made with a more rigid rubber hose in order to prevent kinks, and often made with a rigid 90° exit to the collection vessel.2 - The included nano filter is too restrictive. While not shown in the photo, one uses a simple fabric filter for larger bugs. However, there is also a very small pleated cartridge filter that one is instructed to use for insects smaller than a sesame seed. The problem with this is that it restricts airflow so much that I, as a full-grown adult, am unable to suck hard enough to lift an insect. I can't imagine how hard it would be for a child with much smaller lungs.In fact, the included inline "nano filter" is very clearly an inline fuel filter. It even has a magnet at the bottom of the paper pleats to capture rust from a steel fuel tank. It is not intended for use with air, and this is why it is so restrictive.

This contraption looks a little goofy but really does work quite well to collect small insects. The maker even included an optional filter in case you're collecting super tiny bugs that might fit thru the regular filter. It's useful to rescue bugs from inside the house and relocate them, or collect food for a pet spider.

Essentially this is repurposed medical equipment (bronch sample), but the idea is nonetheless clever. The setup is a small specimen cup with two rubber hoses coming off the lid. One is open to the cup so the insect can get sucked in. The other has a few filters so that when you suck on it the insect doesn't end up in your mouth -- similar to a NoseFrida.The problem that keeps this from being great is the suction. The two tubes are fairly long and both connect to the canister in parallel from the lid. As an adult with an above average lung capacity it is still difficult for me to generate sufficient suction to notice on the other end. It's impossible to maintain it long enough to get something in the cup. We tested it out ahead of time using things like pompoms, grains of rice, coffee beans, etc because I was worried this device would be setting kids up for disappointment. The success rate was low and the effort large. For older kids this will be a challenge, especially to catch insects less compliant than a grain of rice; though on the plus side it's a good option for building lung capacity. At 3 and 6 this isnt going to work for our kids.
