Bug vs Insect

Here to celebrate 'the little things that run the world' for Insect Week '23.

We will search the meadows during this after school session, with sweep nets to discover amazing creatures that would normally be camouflaged in the flowers and grasses. Take a closer look with magnifying glasses to fully appreciate the adaptations these creatures have.

This is a drop in event, you can come and go as you please.
