Term 1 Week 7 - The great minibeast hunt!


 It doesn't have 6 legs so it's not an insect...but it IS a minibeast!

Filling in the paperwork - sketching the habitat, sketching the minibeasts, naming them if you can, and recording how many you found.

 The boys find HEAPS of ants!

The mantis...eater of other minibeasts!  
This one looks a little angry about being captured by Room 11...no doubt it is planning its escape.
Is it a New Zealand or South African mantis?  If it has a blue mark on the inside of the front leg then it's a New Zealand Mantis.
