KCC kids go bug hunting with Ruud at the nursery – 18 August 2019
We dug holes, lifted logs, dipped in the pond and rummaged about the forest. We found worms, grubs, beetles, an ant colony and a fly. We saw the evidence of caterpillars and moths on the harakeke. We were told stories about bugs – how the nursery web spider has at least 6 different types of silk that it spins from nozzles in its butt, and how the caterpillar looking thing we found is actually the young of the black beetle!! Amazing. We got to have Ruud’s friends the weta and spider climb up our arms and sit in our hands. It was awesome!! Big thanks to Ruud and his friends.
