Join Joshua Clarke, conservation officer for Buglife NI and invertebrate guide on this special torchlight harvestmen and bug hunt!
On this guided walk around the grounds of the Folk Museum & Cultra Manor, you’ll be looking for harvestmen (Opiliones) – an under-appreciated taxonomic group related to spiders. You’ll hear about how these enigmatic creatures have gained several incredible behavioural tactics to avoid becoming prey and how non-native species have been established under-the-radar. You may also find some other incredible nocturnal invertebrates!
Uncover and learn about the ecology and biodiversity of so much more on the way!
