OUR FIRST SPECIMENS

Some of us have already been out
searching for minibeasts.

Here are a couple of specimens brought in so far.

Tamekah brought in a grasshopper. It preferred being up in a corner than on the bottom of her bug viewer.

Riley brought in this bug. We've seen bugs like this before but we don't know what it is.
