bring you an exciting new competition
that takes you outside

The winner will be the submission with the most diverse range of bugs and the most innovative and clearly presented findings – (e.g. map, drawn images of bugs, tips taken from website, follow-up findings), regardless of how big or small your facilities.

‘Just change your horizons, lower your perspective and the world all around you becomes just as exciting as the African plains or South American Jungle! This is proper adventure; full of dangerous predators, venom squirting monsters and cannibals but equally one filled with exquisite beauty and wonder. Start the adventure and it’s one that'll last you a life time; It's so addictive I can guarantee once you've been on a bug hunt you will never ever be bored again.’

'The Great Bug Hunt competition is a fun and fascinating way to introduce children to the weird and wacky world of mini beasts. So grab a bug net and awaken their sense of discovery and adventure in the great outdoors.'
