About the event

Heysham Nature Reserve is a great site to get close to wildlife so why not join us on our walk where experts will help you find and identify lots and lots of Ladybirds and Shield Bugs.

We will take a walk around Heysham Nature Reserve where there are varied habitats for us to explore. Ladybirds and Shield Bugs are a great introduction to insects. They are attractive insects that tend not to run or fly off when you find them and so are easier to photograph and to try to identify.

As a group we will look for as many of them as we can find, both adults and the earlier stages. Participant/families will be given colourful handouts on these two groups of insects.

Equipment is provided and all you will have to do is come prepared for all weathers.

Please note: This session takes place in an outdoor location on the reserve and around the reserve, so we advise bringing suitable outdoor clothing and footwear for the weather conditions. Supervision of children is always required. Toilet facilities are available.
