Discover the fascinating world of insects at an engaging, family-friendly event hosted at Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve. Join entomologist John Midgley for an insightful introduction to the incredible diversity of insects and the essential roles they play in our everyday lives.

This interactive morning includes a short, accessible talk on insect ecology, an exploration of common KwaZulu-Natal species, and a closer look at surprising topics like the benefits of parasites. Visitors will also enjoy a guided walk through the valley to observe, collect, and identify live insects before safely releasing them back into their natural habitat.
