Bug Man Video!

Just after the Easter holidays we welcomed back the Bug Man - Martin Rapley. Pupils in KS1 & EYFS were able to handle and meet a whole range of creatures:

  • a pink winged stick insect
  • red kneed Mexican tarantula (called Lucy)
  • hissing cockroaches (from Madagascar)
There was a lot of information to take in. Did you that the red knee species of tarantula - instead of biting - is far more likely to run away and flick urticating hairs from its abdomen? These hairs irritate your eyes and make it easier for the spider to escape.

Have a look at the video clips of the children getting up close and personal with these fascinating bugs...
