National Insect Week 2008

[Miss Muffet]

Monday 23rd - 29th June 2008 sees the start of National Insect Week, which is the second annual event from The Royal Entomologist Society. You can watch the launch on BBC's Springwatch and visit this site for details of events, surveys and competions: National Insect Week

There are lots of resources, including a dowloadable pdf format poster; how to make your own dragonfly; how to make an insect garden and much, much more.

We all know (I hope) that insects are very important to the enviroment and even though some of them are very 'creepy-crawly' (shiver:scared: ), each and everyone has a story.

Let us know what you have done to 'celebrate' the insect.
