Loving a Buzzing Park in Love Parks Week
Volunteers Beth, Anthony and Stuart joined Rupert and Chris in Central Park Meadow for a Love Parks Week Plymouth’s Buzzing Bug Hunt. Around 16 adults and 42 children joined us to investigate what has moved in to one of Plymouth’s newest meadows. The following bugs were found
Froghopper
Soldier beetle
Buff-tailed Bumblebee
Meadow Lace Bug
Meadow Flower Bug
Cabbage White
Ringlet
Meadow Brown
Green-veined White
Common Blue
Comb footed spider
Harvestman spider
Orb spider
We had some great feedback from our bug hunters:
‘It’s lovely to see things like this happening in the park’
‘This is great, we saw it in the paper and my daughter is studying habitats at school so we thought we’d come along and get a head start’
Sophia (aged 10) – "I liked it because they got beautiful bugs and Jason liked the butterfly as well"
Jason (aged 6) – "I liked catching bugs"
