First look closely at this picture. What do you think it is?

It is a wasps nest!

Wasps chew up wood to make a pulp that they form into this structure.

What other homes for insects do you know about?

What can you spot around your home or outside?

Can you make their own spiders’ web using some sort of thread or another habitat for an animal? A bug hotel perhaps?

Send you photographs of your mini-beast habitat to l.huntley@stcuthbertsprimary.com
