Do you love Bugs?
Then you are going to love this super fun set of cards introducing you to 70 amazing bugs found in the British isles.
We couldn't fit every bug that you might see in the set so we have chosen 70 that will give you a great introduction to some of the amazing bugs you might find.
As ever this set has been designed and illustrated by Button & Squirt in sunny Wiltshire, and printed in the UK using sustainable materials and coated with a water based varnish that means they remain recyclable at the end of their life. They are printed in a solar powered factory.
What are they?
Each Card is double sided, with a bug featured on each side.
There is an illustration of the bug along with their common name, scientific name, when to see them in the year and a fun fact.
As ever the background colour of the card helps you sort them and learn something else as well, for these bug cards the colours help you organise your cards into different types of bugs, so you can have a look at all of the butterflies, or slugs or spiders etc together.
