Know your bugs

Know your bugs

Hi, my name is Bert.

I am a beetle. You can tell I'm a beetle because I have large biting jaws and two sets of wings. There are lots of different bugs out there, and not all of them are insects like me. If you have found a bug you want to identify, and you are not sure what it is, why not try our key?
