Garden bug safari
A twenty-minute expedition to find six small creatures, look at them properly, and put them back exactly where they were.
What to do
- 1
Look in the three best places first: under a stone, under a leaf, and along the bottom of a fence.
- 2
Look before you touch. Most of the interesting behaviour stops the moment you pick something up.
- 3
If you collect one, keep it for two minutes at most.
- 4
Put it back where you found it, the same way up.
- 5
Tick it off the sheet and find the next one.
