We
are dedicated to the conservation and promotion
of invertebrate animals such as insects, spiders, lobsters, worms and
snails.
We offer a number of services including
education programs for all ages and ability levels, consultancy services
and specimen prop supply for film, advertising and media. This website
will give you a good introduction to our services. However, we can do much
more. If you have special requirements or needs please feel free to
contact us. Flexibility is our strength.

Sciences Museum, is the proprietor of this business. He has extensive
experience in invertebrate zoology and science communication / education.

Motivation |
|
Invertebrate animals - animals
without backbones - make up 99 % of animal diversity. Contrary to common
belief, only very few are serious pests and diseases of humans, live
stock and crops. Indeed, the vast majority of invertebrate animals are absolutely vital to ecosystem health. They
keep our rivers and oceans clean, our soils and crops productive and
recycle organic waste. In short, without invertebrate animals our world
would be an inhospitable place. Motivated by this, our services foster
the appreciation of invertebrate biology, diversity, form, function and
unique beauty. |
