Bug Hunting Zone at WWT Martin Mere
Step into a hidden world beneath your feet with our hands-on, self-guided bug hunting experience. Perfect for families and nature lovers, this interactive area invites you to explore the fascinating miniature wildlife that thrives in our wetlands.
Lift logs to reveal insects hiding underneath, sift through leaf litter to spot mini beasts on the move, and take a closer look into the pond to discover the incredible aquatic life living just below the surface.
Pick up an ID chart and see how many species you can identify together. Can you use the magnifying glass to look closer at our large BUG house to see what’s inside, or explore the different plants to see what insects call them home?
Our wheelchair-friendly pathway brings you closer to insect life, offering a sensory journey through nature. Feel the textures of natural materials, breathe in the scent of wildflowers, and listen for the buzz and rustle of wetland wildlife all around you.
Whether you’re a seasoned mini-beast hunter or simply curious about what lives in our wetlands, this immersive experience helps you get within arm’s reach of the extraordinary creatures that make wetlands come alive.
