Instructions

Using mesh and metal coat hangers, shape coat hanger into a squarish shape. then tape mesh around to make pond dipping nets. Lash to twigs to create handles.

Instructions using tights and a stapler here: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/naturedetectives/blogs/nature-detectives-blog/2017/05/pond-dipping/
But I had success using cheap mesh off Amazon and Duct tape.

Walk through woods to pond dipping area, dip, identify what you find.

Gently return wildlife into the pond from the trays
