The bug doctor came to our school for science week.
He showed us some really exciting animals and bugs.
We saw a great big hairy furry tarantula!
And a scorpion with a stinger on his tail.
There were millipedes that we all got to hold, they are long and have lots of legs, they can have over 1700 legs, but the ones here have 370 approx.
Try and spot the stick insect, it's very good at being a stick. To stop itself from being eaten by hungry birds it mimics a stick.
Another fellow that is good at mimicking the dead leaf insect!
The snails were huge. They were called giant snails from Nigeria.
A lovely bearded dragon came next, he was recovering from a broken tail so we had to be gentle.
SSSSSSSsssssss, a California King snake, he only eats twice a month. He had red eyes and a red tongue.
Enjoy Galway science week.
