This expo is about all things bugs and insects, that includes cute, fuzzy and creepy as well as the pretty, shiny and super cute. Whether it flutters, crawls, creeps, skitters, hides, wriggles or stands still, you can find it here. Learn about critically endangered creatures, touch and buy a new tiny pet. Conduct entomology science observations and explore a range of activities that broaden your environmental knowledge base with fun facts.
There's more than just spiders. There's beautiful moths and butterflies, stick pets and solicites, which you may know as buchie boys!
