Take a close-up look at the bug world

Bugs (invertebrates) are fascinating creatures but its often hard to observe them close up. Many are quick on their feet and some can even fly away - both important defences to escape predators.

The gallery below is your chance to inspect the bug world in more detail, and without the need for a microscope. Hover your cursor over the selected image and a magnified view will appear on the right-hand side.

Some may look exotic, but all these bugs could be living in your backyard. Why not see how many you can find?
