Big City Bug Hunt: how to ID insects

Get to know the awesome array of bees, butterflies, moths, flies and wasps that visit your garden and how to tell them apart.

Do you know the difference between a butterfly and a moth? How about a fly and a bee?

It’s not as easy as it seems, especially as so many flies are excellent bee and wasp impersonators!

Food gardens are pollinator hotspots, but do you know exactly what types of bee, fly and moth your garden is supporting?

Join Susannah Hall for an 1.5 hour session online illuminating the key species, understand their anatomy and identification techniques. And gain some insights into what these creatures like to eat and nest in.
