A-Z of Summer: Rummaging for Bugs

In most woods, gardens or country lanes you can rummage for bugs by turning over a stone, flowerpots, pieces of bark or a log. 

In a single expedition you could see centipedes, earwigs, spiders, ants, slugs (some of which are bright orange) millipedes, beetles, worms and woodlice. 

If you see a bug that you don’t know the name of perhaps you could think of your own to call it.

Have a ‘pokey’ stick to hand so if you’re not too fond of creepy crawlies then you can lift things up at a distance, but try and be brave and soon you’ll discover that they’re really not frightening but really fascinating.

Whatever you choose to do enjoy the scent of summer with Vax and Heart.
