There are more than one million insect species in the world – from fleas that can jump 200 times their body length to houseflies that taste with their feet – so it's no wonder they provide an infinite source of fascination for so many children. As any bug hunt in your school grounds will testify, they are a great way of learning about habitats, classification, animal conservation and nature. This lesson is wonderfully practical, based outdoors and encourage children to look closely at insects with a new fascination.
