Bug Census

The Otago Museum came along to do a Bug Census at our school. First we gave as much information as we could about insects and the different types we thought we might see at school. Then we went up to the Community Garden and got into groups. We looked at the insects on the plants, the ones flying around and the ones hiding under rocks and bricks. If we didn't know the name of an insect we were given a series of questions such as how many legs or wings or antennae. We weren't able to catch many insects in the net but we did see quite a few.
