Bug Identification
The creatures need classifying into several broad groups, and do not need detailed identification. For instance, counting the number of legs is a good start! Each school has been sent a chart to help with identification. If you need to download more, please click here for the identification charts. Adobe Acrobat is needed to open the file.
