The following activity is reproduced from our partner, The Parks Trust’s website.

Bug hunting in your local environment gives you the chance to learn more about the wildlife that shares space with you, connecting you to the natural world and improving your knowledge.

The Parks Trust provides this downloadable guide which helps guide you and includes pictures of common bugs.

There are various Apps that can help you explore your local area and identify the wildlife around you, including:

• Picture Bug – Insect Identifier on Google Play or the App Store.
• Animal Kingdom – Invertebrates on Android Apps or the App Store.
