Our Insect Neighbours: A closer look at their hidden world

Crawling, flitting, hopping or climbing – our insect neighbours sure do get around! Visit to see all sorts of wonderous critters and learn something new!

What will you discover? Maybe you’ll spy a native praying mantis, learn a pūrākau about a maggot or marvel at Dr Morgane Merien’s bug-catching contraptions!

All ages welcome.
