Bug Hunting.

What is Bug Hunting?

Groups will make and set a bug trap for crawling insects, as well as using nets and sheets to trap flying insects. Once a selection of bugs has been trapped, the group can identify what creatures they have caught before returning them to their natural environment.

The information gathered can be kept to build up a record of the ecology present in the locality.
