Creepy Crawlies @ Wellington Discovery Forest 

Did you know invertebrates make up 95% of all animal species? Join the Nearer to Nature SW team as we take a closer look at the diversity of creepy crawlies that call the Jarrah Forest their home. We will delve into the world of the arthropods and discover how to identify different insects and arachnids. Discover why these animals are so important to the environment as we examine their features through magnifiers and determine if they are a chewer, poo-er or spewer. We will explore the different habitats in the jarrah forest while we search for its resident creepy crawlies.
