Marvellous Minibeast Hunt

Minibeasts of course! 

Minibeasts is another word for invertebrates and includes any animal without a backbone. They come in all different shapes and sizes and include all the different types of insects, butterflies, flies and bees but also snails, spiders and woodlice! They are a vital part of all ecosystems and have a very important job! Like pollination or breaking down dead animals and plants.

An incredible 96% of all known animals are invertebrates. Without them the world would be a very different place.

They really do count, so why not help us and Pigog the hedgehog to count them!

Record what you find here!

Pigog would like to know what wonders are hidden in your own garden or school grounds. So grab your wellies, and get minibeast hunting! 

Maybe you could take part with your school? We've got plenty of hints and tips to get you started!

Make sure you record all your minibeast findings!

With the help of the 5 Welsh Wildlife Trusts, Pigog has created some informative videos for each day of the week, with focus on a different group of invertebrates.
