Wow what a morning! Nick the Bugman came in and gave such an informative show about the creatures that live on the forest floor and below!
The children saw so many different bugs including stick insects, scorpions, snails, millipedes and tarantulas.
Can you believe that this creature on the left is actually a stick insect!
The stick insects varied in size and colour. The boys were always the smaller of the species and were mainly a shade of brown.
This bug was called the 'twin spot assassin'. We weren't allowed to touch this one as it had quite a pincer on it!
This was 'Sally' the bird eating spider! She was the slower of the two tarantulas today. I wonder if the children remember why they were not allowed to hold this one? The adults were brave though and had a hold.
Below area selection of photos from our morning. We will put the others on the screen in the classroom tomorrow.
(Mrs Thorpe isn't the biggest spider fan!)
