Bug Club

Wildflower Walk, Landsborough - 9am - 12pm - Saturday the 29th of October, 2022

As part of our Citizen Science Saturday & the Great Southern Bioblitz 2022 we held our Bug Club at Wildflower Walk. The weather was warm and there were plenty of bugs about. Look at all the colours! Everyone set about looking for insects. As insects were found they were placed carefully into specimen jars and brought back to be identfied, photographed and talked about. When we are satisfied everyone has had a good look we release the insect. We made 21 different species observations.

Our favourite insect this week was Naskrecki's Bush Katydid. The one in the centre photo is a nymph and will be all green as an adult.

Pictured below are some of our findings. For the full list take a look at our "Bug Club" Project on iNaturalist by using the QR Code above and keep checking back to see if some of our unidentified observations have been identified or to learn more about a species. menos ↑
