This is the most
popular of our regular shows and with good reason. The Bug Show is an
entertaining introduction into the world of invertebrate animals. We

groups. This way the students

learn about the general biology of
invertebrates
-
come to appreciate the diversity of
invertebrates
-
will identify the distinguishing
features of major groups like spiders compared with insects or
centipedes compared with millipedes
-
will learn about the roles of
invertebrates in nature

the invertebrate creatures that depend on it. To book this presentation

crafts person and a talented costume designer. There are many occasions
