Resources

Programme Spark

Lay the sheet in the middle of an open, grassy area. Place the bright light in the middle of the sheet and wait.

As bugs are drawn towards the light take photos of them and try to identify them against identification charts and keys.

This would be a great Spark to do before bed on a Nights Away event.
