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 Minibeasts in the Rainforest program at the Botanic Garden of
Adelaide
This program is going from strength to strength. Students are led through

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