Step into Bugs Garden and discover the amazing world of creepy
crawlies! Bugs are the most successful animal on the planet. They
can be found at the deepest depths of the ocean, to the top of the
highest mountain and everywhere in between. Bugs are vital for our
world to survive doing the important jobs like pollinating plants
and removing waste.
The bugs that live in our gardens have been around for about 540
million years! They came out of the water onto land around 400
million years ago, and were the first animal to fly, around 300
million years ago! Humans didn't show up on Earth until 100,000
years ago- so bugs have been here five thousand times longer than
us!
