Minibeasts at the Museum

Yesterday we went and investigated minibeasts at the Otago Museum. Our guide Charlie took us to Animal Attic and the insects section in one of the galleries where we worked in groups to answer questions that she posed to us, tried to reunite some lost minibeasts to their correct environment and looked at all the displays of amazing bugs! Do YOU know what has 8 legs and a stinger? Do YOU know what New Zealand's biggest beetle is? Ask one of us for the answer!
Then we visited Tropical World where we saw one of the world's biggest moths - the Atlas Moth, took a look at the huge tarantulas and became landing pads for many butterflies! What a great day!

  1. Amazing photo album that you have of our visit to the museum. We enjoyed looking at it. Jakob is wondering did your class enjoy the day at the museum? Lacey wants you to know we all liked the butterflies. Katie is asking you-what sort of butterflies do you like?.
