So this here would really appeal to me visually and technically:
But the natural trunks are probably complicated to process. And I can't manage to cover the roof so nicely either. It's a bit big too. Well, we'll see.

Everyone can easily contribute to insect protection on their own property
[*]Native plant diversity
[*]Meadow instead of just lawn
[*]Avoidance of weed killers (what a word for useful but unwanted plants)
[*]Avoidance of leaf blowers - at least on unpaved surfaces

So here I have another one - it just looks easy to build:
You don't have to build it that tall. I like this cuboid shape. The stones at the bottom make sure the wind doesn't knock it over. That would be good. In the middle, there should actually be a small cuboid so the wind doesn't blow through, right? Does that shrubbery at the top do anything or is it trash? The wooden logs are of course made according to regulations.
I still have plenty of bamboo tubes. But they have about 2 cm holes. Those are too big, right?
So the desired animals would mainly be:
Bees (if possible)
Lacewings
Ladybugs
Earwigs
Beetles in general
Did I forget anyone important?

You can forget about the thicket.
And it’s definitely not all sides that are inhabited, only those facing south.
I would place earworms separately – always offer them a shelter where they are needed. So by the fruit tree or between the roses. Hang upside-down flower pots with straw inside.
Ladybugs overwinter in wall crevices or leaf piles – something warm and humid.
Beetles don’t need a hotel, they need the right garden.
I think the stones at the bottom for weighting are good – I wouldn’t put chicken wire over that, I don’t know if lizards like that.
Hole diameter varies between 2 and 9 mm. 20 are too big, yes.
