Dr Paul - The Insect Guy

Today we had a visit from Dr Paul, an entomologist (insect specialist) who works for Landcare Research.  He came along to talk all about insects and to share some of the work he does - using insects to get rid of nasty plants (like horsetail) in New Zealand.  He shared lots of interesting information with us and we learnt heaps.  A highlight was having a close-up look at his specimen trays.  Thanks Dr Paul!

  2. It was fun learning all new different things about amazing insects. I hope Dr Paul and his work mates can find a insect that can eat Horse Tail and get rid of it.
