Digging! The oil beetles are out and about at The Bug Farm! Keep your eyes open for them on the paths...not sure that digging your burrow on a well-trodden path (used as a racetrack by a blind dog) is the most sensible evolutionary strategy! #mindyourstep #beetles #oilbeetles #TheBugFarm

This time last year, the fabulous Nikki Pontin was busy illustrating our wildlife watching hide with species we find at The Bug Farm. A sunny day like today is the perfect day to step into this magical world of vibrant colour.

Day...week...year made! We have a nest of barn owl chicks! We are over the moon. These three chicks have been weighed (they're really heavy for their age) and ringed by ecologist Paddy Jenks.
What a glorious picture of the whole family together.

The comical lackey moth caterpillars have left their communal larval webs and are busy ambling across The Bug Farm at the moment. With their dishevelled appearance, they all look like they had a big night out on the tiles! #badhairday #caterpillar #thebugfarm
