Wings, Stings & Wriggly Little Things is a fascinating and interactive invertebrate incursion that brings the mysterious and misunderstood world of bugs, insects, and spineless creatures into your classroom or event space. This unique mini beast experience is perfect for curious minds, from early learners to high school biology students, and is packed with exciting learning opportunities and unforgettable encounters.
Explore the miniature wonders of the animal kingdom—creatures without backbones, but with astonishing survival skills, unique adaptations, and powerful ecological roles. From the bizarre to the beautiful, students will come face-to-face with creatures that crawl, wriggle, spin, sting, and fly.
For Early Learning & Primary Students
This program is a favourite for kindergarten and primary school incursions, where young learners can observe, touch, and interact with live invertebrates in a safe, fun, and engaging environment.
Our educators guide children through a sensory and exploratory journey into the world of bugs—encouraging discovery, observation skills, and empathy for some of nature’s smallest, yet most important creatures. The program supports early science outcomes while keeping things light, curious, and exciting.
Please note: Due to the nature of the live animals, the depth of content, and the hands-on interactions involved, this program is not suitable for children under 3 years of age.

- Arthropods from diverse habitats
- and other wonderfully weird wriggly things!
For Upper Primary & Secondary Students
Wings, Stings & Wriggly Little Things is also designed to captivate older students and align with STEM curriculum areas in biology, ecology, and environmental science.
Students will learn about the vital role invertebrates play in ecosystems, decomposition, pollination, and food webs, and how these creatures have evolved incredible adaptations to thrive in almost every environment on Earth. The presentation encourages scientific observation, classification, and critical thinking, all while showcasing real live specimens.
