Bug World

Many may be small, but invertebrates make up more than 90% of the Earth's animal species. Bug World features some of the strangest and most interesting characters in the invertebrate world.

Bug World includes wildlife as varied as insects, spiders, worms, snails, crabs, octopuses, jellyfish and corals.

Invertebrates are responsible for many of nature's tasks, such as the pollination of plants and seed dispersal. They survive in the harshest habitats from the inhospitable deserts to the depths of the oceans.

Bug World recreates many diverse environments in which these invertebrates live. You can experience locusts swarming around you and the deadly black widow spider living in one of it's favourite haunts - under the toilet seat!
