Stuff you'll need

  • Weather appropriate clothes
  • Curiosity!

Minibeasts come in all shapes and sizes. The best places to spot them are in your garden or local woodland where they hide and tuck themselves into crevices and under logs.

Use this wonderful resource to identify the beautiful bugs which have made a home on your patch. For more brilliant spotter sheets, check out the Wildlife Watch website.

If you would like to attract more bugs to your patch, check out our latest mission: Love Bugs!
