A chance to trial lots of different collecting techniques. Lift logs to see what’s living underneath, sieve leaf letter, try your hand at sweep netting and dip a pond net in our very own pond.

Afterwards, head behind the scenes of the museum to get a closer look at insect specimens and find out more about bug-based research.
