Description

What is Bug Hunting?

Groups will make and set a bug trap for crawling insects as well as using nets and sheets to trap flying insects. Once a selection of bugs have been trapped the group can identify what creatures they have caught before returning them to their natural environment.

The information gathered can be kept to build up a record of the ecology present in the locality.
