Spotlight Session - Grasshoppers and Crickets (Friday)

Did you know that we have 27 native species of Orthoptera (grasshoppers and crickets)? Do you think that you could tell the difference between these two groups of interesting insect? If you were fascinated by these high-jumping, noisy insects as a child and want to learn a bit more about them, then this is the perfect opportunity!

Join to discover more about how to identify this unique group of invertebrates.

The spotlight session has 2 parts:

• BEFORE THE SESSION - Watch this webinar (UK Grasshoppers and Crickets from The Tanyptera Project) to learn the basics of identifying this group.

• ON THE DAY - Come along on the day to put your new-found knowledge into practice by having a go at identifying some of the common species.

*Please note* The Spotlight Session is not a formal workshop, just an opportunity to 'give it a go' along with other interested people in a shared learning environment. There will also be free hot drinks and biscuits! The event is aimed at adults, however sensible older children are welcome if accompanied by an adult.

The session takes place in the Community Hall at The Parade Enterprise Centre. The Hall is on the first floor of the building and can be accessed via stairs or a lift. 

The Spotlight Sessions are free to attend. However when you book you will now be given the option to make a donation if you feel able to. This helps us to cover our costs, but is completely optional. Please note that we are not able to refund donations if you cancel your place on the session.

This session is run in partnership with the Tanyptera Project. To hear about upcoming Tanyptera Project events click here. You can also sign up to the RECORD mailing list here.
