Inspiring Learning Biology KS3 LOVEBUGS Why are bugs important? Where can be find bugs? How are bugs adapting to the changing environment? Micro-habitats Which of these micro-habitats can you see in your survey area? Soft ground surfaces □ Soil □ Short grass □ Leaf litter or woodchip □ Plant pots, large stones or rocks standing on soft ground surfaces □ Dead branches or logs on the ground □ Open compost heap Human-made hard surfaces □ Buildings □ Brick or stone wall □ Wooden fence □ Paving □ Wooden decking □ Tarmac or concrete □ Plant pots standing on hard surfaces □ Play equipment Plants □ Long grass □ Planted flower bed, pot of windowbox □ Wildflowers or weeds □ Hedges □ Shrubs □ Trees □ Climbing plants Bug hunting on soft ground surfaces Try looking under things, pick up a handful of fallen leaves and put into a tray or try disturbing the top layer of soil with your hand. Record the bugs you see in the table below. Number of legs 0 0 0 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 8 >8 >8 >8 Hard to see n/a Type of bug How many did you see?

Using your findings could you say where the best place to be a bug is and why? Which space had the highest species richness? Which space had the most biodiversity? What factors do you think have contributed to your results? Total bugs seen Inspiring Learning Biology KS3 LOVEBUGS Why are insects important? Where can we find insects? Is the flower garden the best place to be a insect? Where do you think you will find the most insects in the park, the grassy area at the bottom of Crooms Hill or in the Flower Garden?
