Discover the best bits about bugs and beasties in this fascinating family-friendly talk and learn why these tiny creatures are some of the most important residents in our natural world.
Insects play a vital role in pollinating our flowers, fruit and vegetables, while also supporting the food chain as an essential food source for birds, mammals and amphibians. From busy bumblebees to brilliant beetles, bugs help keep our ecosystems thriving.
