Learn about bugs and insects up close and personal. Capture bugs using our easy to create bug vacuum. Visit carolinaparent.com for more tips on ways to get your children outside, and encourage learning while interacting with insects.
It is creative and I know you did it in good faith but I see two problems:
I wonder how long it would take until kids hyperventilate while doing this.
also
I don't think gauze would prevent really fine dust particles from passing through, right into the kid's airways, especially considering the usual surfaces where bugs are found. I guess even really tiny particles of the bug itself could pass. If even HEPA filters found in purifiers do not filter everything, let alone gauze.
I find that using zip loc bags is an easier way to catch bugs, especially flying bugs. It works great on everything from wasps, moths, skeeters, beetles, flies.

gause as a filter is a good idea.
will your suction be enough of a force to suck them in?
the end piece might be too small.
but on the other hand, if u make it larger, the suction force is too little.
this device as it is will not work for crickets, quick, small insects, or big ones like roaches.
if this is meant for ants and such, it's totally pointless, cause ants aren't creepy, and u can take them easily with a wet paper towel.
