A big thank you to everyone who entered the July August Family Zone competition, it sounds like you all had a marvelous time on your bug hunts and you found lots of different and interesting creatures, it just goes to show what you can find even in the smallest gardens.
The winning entry was from Ridley Swain, aged four and a half, from Suffolk.
Ridley found a grasshopper in his Nanna and Grandad’s garden he said it was his favourite insect because “he jumps so high, and I love green!”
